This has probably been posted already, but it won't hurt for folks to see it again. There is a message floating around that is trying to get PayPal members to give up their usernames and passwords - do I have to say: "Don't do it!"?
My first clue was that the following message was sent to an address that is not even registered with PayPal. The Reply To: address is
user@some.com and there is an "@" symbol in the link that they try to lure you to.
Here is a sample of the text from the message:
