PayPal Scam

Just thought I'd alert everyone to a PayPal scam I received the other day.I had an email purportedly from PayPal which looked quite legitimate.It stated that suspicious activity had been noted on my account andthat activity had been limited until I logged in and "tookaction". The email very helpfully provided the links for me to doso!This one was a little more professionally produced than most others -looked just like a PayPal email, had my name and email address, used aspecific date for the supposed suspect activity and had lots of linkswithin the email.I forwarded it immediately to PayPal (spoof@paypal.com.au), who confirmed that it was fake.Important points: NEVER follow a link on an email - access PayPal through My EBay. When accessing PayPal check for the security icon (padlock) at bottom right of your browser
