paypal scam

Just had an e mail supposed to be from paypal saying my account was going to be suspended and to log in.
I quit the e mail and logged in as normal and no problem on my account so have forwarded the e mail to spoof@paypal.co.uk.
The e mail was from suspended accounts, just take care out there.

If that was your first then you've been very lucky up until now. I get lots of them to various accounts, even accounts that have never been anywhere near a PayPal account.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

Most of the phishing type stuff to me these days get sorted out either by the ISP, or Gmail.
I never click on links in any email anyway. Never for financial stuff, and check first if it's from someone I know.
Paranoid?
Yes!
But as already said the phishing or scam emails ain't exactly uncommon.
The scammers are still busily scamming the unwary.0
