Thought I would share this, I got an email from "PayPal" yesterday saying my account had been compromised. Then I read it and lots of red lights went off. There were spelling errors, the link had a date that had already passed, and it said the only way to fix my account was to log on through the link in the email. I've reported it to PayPal but thought I would share it here as well. This is what the email looks like and the address it came from.

Heading:
Notification alert ! Supicious Transaction [Case-ID : C0X700177:177f6a07fb3e]

From: "PayPal Inc" <[email protected]>
