Paypal Phishing scam

[hextall27]

Watch out for a new PayPal phishing scam. You never think you could fall for one of these but I thought it was legit at first because it filtered directly to me PayPal email folder.

When I noticed the link address I realized.

Here is the email:

We regret to inform you that access to your account has been temporarily limited.

This has been done due to several failed log-in attempts.

Case ID: AX-309-05-66

To restore your account please log in correctly.

If you fail to log in correctly your account will be suspended for fraud prevention.

You will be able to register again for PayPal only after you authenticate your profile.

We apologize for the inconvenience, this measure was taken for your protection.

I got that same e-mail 7 times in 3 hours yesterday.
Same case number every time.
Losers.

Best thing to do is when you get emails never click the links, always open a new window and access ebay paypal etc.. from there, never from the links even if they are legit emails.
