You would have thought they would know
your name rather than address you as PayPal customer.
That webist is all in Koean.
You should still be able to see you paypal account or credit card accoutns to see dubious trasnacitons.
Almost certainly a scam - UNDER NO CIRCUMSTATNCVE EVER GIVE AWAY YOUR PASSWORD/PIN to any unsolicted e-mails or phone callers.

I liked the screensaver that did DOS attacks on spamming or phishing computers... Annoyingly it was deemed illegal and Lycos withdrew it!!
