 Paypal phishing attempt. - sherlock47

Just had a really good phishing email that states I am in arrears with my Paypal account, and need to GIVE ALL ACCOUNT AND CREDIT CARD DETAILS

The email looks really good, superb formatting the only giveaway is that it comes from a .CNET account.

The source code is interesting since it contains a chunk of 'encrypted data' presumably linking to the site for collection of your personal data. The rest of the code looks as though it has been directly lifted from a genuine PayPal page.

Very easy to make a an innocent error for somebody. However in my case it was sent to an email address that Paypal is not aware of!
