    I just got this fake paypal e-mail. I called paypal and they said nope it's a fake. hahaha

    I must admit they did a great job but Windows Live didn't mark it as safe so I knew right away it must be a fake.

    Things that made me notice it was a fake,

    1-Dear member, what's that LOL, I'm always called by my first and last name.
    2-Click the link, pff paypal NEVER says click the link!
    3-windows live said it was harmful meaning it's the first e-mail I got from this sender :)

    What's you take on it, do you notice anything else that looks fake?

    I be if you moused over that link and looked in your status bar you would see a url OTHER THAN paypal.com. I have received such emails before. They can be very convincing at first.
