All paypal official emails will call you by name, not Dear Paypal User. At least this one is a bit better. Some of the ones I get when you click on it, it comes up with the web address as: http://www.bpsc.edu.hk/whateverelseisonthere

of course the .hk is from hong kong. man I hate them foreign f-ers.

You need to contact them right away with your account information, my friend. Time is of the essence.

Ive been getting these with the Ebay logo on it for years. If you go to the page it actually shows up under Ebays domain too, with every question under the sun. I Emailed Ebay and they said it was a scam. the funny part is that my web Email immediately flagged it as spam since the original IP wasnt from Ebay, plus most emails from ebay say something like aw-confirm@ ebay or something weird like that...this was Ebay@ ebay.com. I still get these almost daily...oh well when in rome.."Do you like internet poker, chat rooms, or live girls?? CLICK HERE!!" [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
