Guys;
I received an email today claiming to be from PayPal security. It begins:Dear PayPal User,
Dear PayPal User, For security purposes your account has been randomly chosen for verification. To verify your account information we are asking you to provide us with all the data we are requesting. Otherwise we will not be able to verify your identity and access to your account will be denied by our security department at once :
It then gives a URL to click which appears to be a genuine PayPal site but if you look at the actual link it takes you to another site where the scammers will presumably collect your details.
It's OK - I didn't click it !!!
If you get this email Do NOT visit this link
I have contacted PayPal to report this. I'll let you know what they say....
