I almost shit my pants when I read this. Within 3 seconds of getting this email I went to paypal (I typed it myself) and checked my account. It wasn't true. The reason why I was so nervous was because I had just added a new email today and of course it's the same email I got earlier today. Now I see how people can fall for this, if I didn't just from habit type it out myself, I would have falled for this. This is probably the first time I've ever gotten an email and within seconds went straight to the site. I was nervous I was thinking somebody is going to try to drain the bank account tied into the paypal, let me stop them fast. By the way the link that says it's https://paypal.com leads to http://www.sofia.com.br/webscr/update.html an exact copy of paypal.

I got one the other day that was saying that someone from a foreign country was trying to access my account, but paypal doesn't even have that email address so I figured it was fake.

Anyway, thanks for letting us know!

I would guesstimate that I have received the "You've added a new email address....." maybe 100 times.
I dont even open anything which says paypal in it anymore. I just delete.
If there was an issue with my PP account I would notice it when I am in my PP account.

I used to receive very often such scams until I reported the situation to paypal a couple of times, then I'm receiving in daily basis the following email coming from different "ebay" sites which urls is not www.ebay.com:

once clicked the URL it takes your to http://211.112.95.232:680/rock/e/
but everyday comes from different fake URLS (most of them chineses) to notify an impossible fraud because my targeted email is not registered at ebay.

Of particular interest is to know the message is not text but a scanned image mapped to look real but pointing to the scammer web as you may see through such email souce code:

Giving this result to make you bite the dust:

I've gotten that very same PayPal email every day for the past 3-4 weeks. I've forwarded it on to spoof_PayPal with full headers each time, and am still getting them. I don't have much confidence that PayPal will be doing anything to stop these, however.

Last month, I received an email from PayPal isssuing me a "First Warning" for using my personal account to obtain a cash advance from a credit card or helping someone else to do it....the funny thing is, I don't have a bank account or credit card attached to my account, so my Premier account is nothing more than a savings account - I can't pull any money out. When I contacted them about it, they told me in their own sweet way, "Ve hav our vays of knowing these things", even when I pointed out that it would be imposssible......

I got one today. However I always check the header info and saw it was not from paypal, just a spoofed email address and the links go to a phishing website used to capture your account info.

If you're ever in doubt about an email from Paypal, forward it to spoof@paypal.com and they'll reply and let you know if it's real or not...

I've been getting heaps of these spoof emails to my ABUSE@ address... Obviously, it is spoof so I just report it to spamcop, where it gets forwarded to spoof@paypal.com aswell.

Thanks,
Mini
