There is a very convincing Paypal scam on at the moment. An email addressed
to "Dear Paypal user" asks you to verify your login information.
Paypal say a good clue is the "Dear Paypal user", as they always personalise
emails with your name in full.
If you forward anything suspicious to [log in to unmask] they will check it
out and tell you the results within 24 hours.

Forgive me if you guys already know about this, but I believe this is a scam
to get credit card details.
Basis for this is the tag on the front of my email address, which is similar
to other spam I receive.
Tricky part is that it does seem to open up the ebay site Enough to make a
person revert to used fivers.
