Hi All,

Just had an e-mail from Service @intl.paypal.com, I have not even opened it as a search on this address came up with it being a Phishing Scam. Evidently it asks for your account details.

Maybe others are already aware of this but for those that haven't please be on guard for such e-mails.

Out of interest has anybody else received this e-mail?

Increasingly clever some of these guys, and they can look quite convincing superficially.

ANY Email or communication that includes a link for you to 're-enter' or 'confirm' your details IS a scam and should be at least binned, or better reported to the Safety Centre of the Company involved - via their normal URL. Also most major organisations will include your name, or screen name to confirm THEY know who YOU are - Phishing emails are nearly always unaddressed, or have a general greeting: 'Dear Ebay member... " <DELETE>!

No reputable Internet company will object to you checking it out.
