Dear -Paypal- Customer ,

We are currently performing regular maintenance of our security measures. Your account has been randomly selected for this maintenance, and you will now be taken through a series of identity verification pages.

Please Note:
If we do no receive the appropriate account verification within 24 hours, then we will assume this account is fraudulent and will be suspended. The purpose of this verification is to ensure that your account has not been fraudulently used and to combat the fraud from our community.



the link is javascript('http://www.minelle.se/butik/htmlarea/examples/index.html');
 
yeh, i thought as much. Im always tempted to try the link anyway to see what happens. Sort of like checking to see if an iron really is hot :rolleyes:
 
That same scam is used to impersonate various banks such as Barclays.

Always a laugh when I get one from a bank who I am not a customer of.
 
Aside from what's been said, the first line gives it away.

"Dear -Paypal- Customer "

Paypal (and Ebay for that matter) always use your full name when emailing you.
