Paypol? Appears that they didn't do a good enough job on disguising themselves.

 

[Dreads]

if u just looked at it really fast, you might fall for it

other then that its kinda ovious.

Anyhow thanks for the warning. I also wonder if they are running out of domains to use for these scams lol

 

[SlimPickins]

i just received the EXACT same email! friggin' scammers.....

 

[l-l-l.com]

thxs for the heads up

I have received almost the same email about 30 times in the past week.
It's a better tactic than the "your account is frozen due to unauthorized use" one and more likely to panic the naive and get results.
A reminder to everyone - NEVER click a link - ALWAYS manually type the address yourself and check for information in your account no matter who the email is from.

I get these once a week. If I get an email that I believe to be real I'll log into my paypal account direct and check.
