Well, that's a new angle!
Just got this email from 'PayPal', complete with typos and other rubbish:
It came with all sorts of realistic PayPal-style headers and 'log in here' buttons - I've reproduced it here in plain text, to void
all the dodgy links.

Just how stupid do they think I am? (Don't answer that)
I will shortly forward this to PayPal's scam unit, once I get their address off their site (not via this link!). UPDATE: spoof@paypal.com

Too true - what scares me more is the fact there's people out there who actually fall for this!

PayPal's response was quick - I've received two (genuine) emails from them since reporting the email.
