Paypal SPOOF EMAILS Beware

I have received two spoof emails that look alarmingly like the real "Paypal" thing. There were a few giveaways though.

It did not mention my name (and it should) the base domain to the email was .ug.....yep you guessed it...Uganda!

The email also contains a trojan that my AV picked up - JS/Wonka.

If you get one of these, send it on to spoof@paypal.com with an explanation.

Got loads of these recently, all to my previously registered Tiscali mail addresses. Had no trouble at all since I got my own domain..

If you're in doubt, "forward" the whole message to spoof@paypal.com and they will get back to you with a confirmation that it is a spoof or not.
