Probably old news... but PAYPAL SCAM!
I just got this with a nice little .exe file attached to it....

From: "PayPal.com" <[email protected]>
SUBJECT: Problems with your PayPal account.

Dear PayPal member,

We regret to inform you that your account is about to be expired
in next five business days. To avoid suspension of your account
you have to reactivate it by providing us with your personal
information.

To update your personal profile and continue using PayPal services
you have to run the attached application to this email. Just run it
and follow the instructions.

IMPORTANT! If you ignore this alert, your account will be suspended
in next five business days and you will not be able to use PayPal
anymore.

Thank you for using PayPal.

What a fucking scam... I bet so many fucking people fall for this shit. I forwarded it to [email protected]

Kidding? No.... I know a paypal email when I see one, this one has the paypal logo on it, and anyway, all I had to do was enter my credit card details, click send, and my account's ok.. I don't see what all the fuss is about..
