Paypal com asked me to update my records

I got an e-mail yesterday from support at paypal.com giving me a link and asked me to update my paypal records. Is this a spoof? Thanks

almost certainly yes...always log in via your own browser to undertake changes to your account, never follow a link.
It's always worth sending these phishing e mails into paypal as well so that can shut down that aprticular link. send the whole thing with headers to spoof@paypal.com .

I checked my sent items the other day for all the phish emails I have sent to spoof@ for both ebay and paypal and there were thirty emails all within the last two months.
I just hope they all had some effect!I'm so sexy it's a wonder my underpants don't explode.0
