Default Paypal email

"Dear valued PayPal member:



Identity protection matters. And PayPal works day and night to help keep your identity safe.

Think I should click on the email link and "update" my information?

I heard you have a few eBay unpaid items that you haven't shipped either Michael. You better click the following link and tell my why you haven't shipped my "Friends of Favre Commemorative Plate" link



What shocks me is that people still fall for these - if you haven't learned not to EVER click a link in an email in order to get to a secure website, shame on you.

Yeah. I forwarded that email to spoof@payapal.com and they sent back,

"Dear Michael,

Thanks for taking an active role by reporting suspicious-looking emails.
The email you forwarded to us is a phishing email, and our security team
is working to disable it."
