I was checking my emails today and found something quite interesting in my Junk-Mail folder.
It was from
[email protected]
It basically said : "Unauthorized access to your PayPal account!
We recently noticed more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address.
If you accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you are the rightfull holder of the account, please visit Paypal as soon as possible to verify your identity:

You can also verify your account by logging into your PayPal account at

If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choise but to temporaly suspend your account.
We ask that you allow at least 72 hours for the case to be investigated and we strongly recommend to verify your account in that time.
Thank you for using PayPal!

Looks authentic... BUT, I hover over the links, and none of them lead to paypal. They lead to some php file on zha.sk
I google zha.sk and get a list of Russian sites... SO... of course I figure its a scam. And a damn good one if you're not paying attention.
The e-mail looks just like any other Paypal e-mail.
Anybody else ever get this one?
Btw, I have no idea what clicking on the link would do... my best guess would that it would install spyware... or maybe a password extractor... who knows.
