Warning to Paypal account holders!
Just received an Email claiming to be from Paypal. It said my account had been compromised and I was to complete an attached form and Email it back to "Paypal (sec@account.co.uk)" to reactivate my account.
I knew it was a scam of some sort straight away as I do not have a Paypal account so I forwarded it on to the people at the genuine Paypal Co. They have confirmed that yes it was a genuine phishing Email and are investigating.
