Important!!! Do not fill in the form if you receive this message from paypal..

Please read the email that I received which I thought is coming from paypal as it looks so professional.

I just confirmed it with paypal that this has not been sent by paypal but it has got the same look as paypal. The informtaion you type in the form will be collected and used for fraud transactions..


It Looks like it is paypal but it takes you to a fake URL which looks like paypal..

I removed the URL that I received as it will give an idea to the people who wants to steal peoples account details and use them for fraud transactions.

following is the email that I received.
