Just a heads up guys, I got this e-mail from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]":
Note that it also had little fancy logos and stuff:
"We recently noticed an attempt to log in to your PayPal account from
France,a foreign IP address and we have reason to belive that your
account was used by a third party without your authorization.
If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log
in attempts may have been initiated by you. Therefore, if you are the
rightful account holder, click on the link below to log into your
account and follow the instructions.

(this link really points to www.paypal-webscr.com)
If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to
temporarily suspend your account.
If you received this notice and you are not the authorized account
holder, please be aware th at it is in violation of PayPal policy to
represent oneself as another PayPal user. Such action may also be in
violation of local, national, and/or international law. PayPal is
committed to assist law enforcement with any inquires related to
attempts to misappropriate personal information with the intent to
commit fraud or theft. Information will be provided at the request of
law enforcement agencies to ensure that impersonators are prosecuted to
the fullest extent of the law.
Thank you for your patience as we work together to protect your account.
Sincerely,
PayPal Account Review Department

However the link takes the poor clicker to
"http://www.paypal-webscr.com/"; where they try to steal your
information. Just like that e-bay scam you can enter any name/password
and then see how it tries to get your credit card number and bank
routing numbers and all that good stuff. I know you guys are probably
smart enough not to fall for this but you may want to tell your friends.
P.S. This person spelled "believe" wrong in the last line of the first
paragraph.
