This one came today - very clever - a list of forign IP addresses saying someone is trying to hack into my paypal account - then they supply a link that looks like it goes to paypal so you will login and give them your password.

Clicking on the link takes you to ht*p://it.bestex.co.th/.aw/PayPal/cgi-bin/webscre.php/login_PayPal_Acounts/

Which is a FAKE paypal page. Remember Paypal or Ebay or Your bank will never send a request for you to login - if you are unsure then you can always go directly to your account in a web browser and DO NOT click the link in the questionable email - it's always a scam.

PayPal Security Measures!

We are contacting you to remind you that: on 25 February 2006 our Account Review Team identified some unusual activity in your account, one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address.
