Pelican Parts Forums - SCAMMERS using Paypall

I got an email form "Paypal" saying that they noticed some strange activity on my account.

Name of sender: Paypal (accounts@paypal-secure.com)
Subject: PayPal identified some unusual activity in your account‏

In this mail they asked me for my data, from date of birth to the type of card, password, code... everything.
That is what set my BS meter in overdrive.
Paypal would never ask me for this data.
I reported it to Paypal directly!!

BEWARE: The mail looks very realistic/authentic!!!
