I just recently received this in my inbox, and although it isn't addressed to me by 'name' I clicked the link, (and no I didn't enter any info); ".....Account System Cleanup IMPORTANT Dear PayPal Member, Due to overwhelming reports of fraudulent transactions and account abuse, PayPal now requires all active members who have an account to verify that they rightfully own it. You must click the link below and enter your email, password and reference code on the following page to verify your account. This is NOT a SCAM or HOAX. Please check your address bar to make sure you are on the authentic PayPal website. https://www.paypal.com/accountcleanup/ Your reference code is : XXX-XXXX-XXXX You will be guided through a series of steps which will require you to enter personal information, such as credit card number and/or bank details. ALL accounts not re-verified within 5 days of receiving this email will be automatically frozen. PayPal is doing this to protect it's valued members from fraud and scams. Paypal will not share your personal information with other companies and corporations. Privacy Policy Thank you for your co-operation, PayPal Please do not reply to this e-mail.

PayPal sites that ask for Passport information, Driver's licence details are definitely scams. For more information on protecting yourself from fraud, please visit the Security Center. Protect Your Password You should never give your PayPal password to anyone, including PayPal employees....." Now it also didn't have the usual Paypal email id at the bottom. But after clicking the link to see what's what, it goes to what looks like the real Paypal site,little padlock and all, I clicked every link you don't need to sign in for and they went to pages that I verified later as a paypal page...I also forwarded it the spoof@paypal.com. Has anyone else rec'd one of these? the scammers are getting very good at stealing Paypal's site pages and duping the site, down to the 'contact us' page with FAQ etc...
