Dear PayPal member,
PayPal would like to inform you about some important information regarding your PayPal account. This account, which is associated with the email address
-------------(email address removed at time of posting)----------------
will be expiring within five business days. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause, but this is occurring because all of our customers are required to update their account settings with their personal information.
We are taking these actions because we are implementing a new security policy on our website to insure everyone's absolute privacy. To avoid any interruption in PayPal services then you will need to run the application that we have sent with this email (see attachment) and follow the instructions. Please do not send your personal information through email, as it will not be as secure.
IMPORTANT! If you do not update your information with our secure application within the next five business days then we will be forced to deactivate your account and you will not be able to use your PayPal account any longer. It is strongly recommended that you take a few minutes out of your busy day and complete this now.

Thank you for using PayPal.

haha, their first mistake was to send the virus (it was caught by the Road Runner server before it even got to me) and then they sent it to my address with which no account is affiliated

I get emails like this occasionally from ebay and Paypal....... both are scam attempts but some people will actually submit the information asked for and end up getting scammed............
I don't remember how long ago, but some smartass actually was interviewed about his success with this type of fraud and he had made thousands of dollars from info he had acquired with this type of scam.....
Sad, but in this day, there's a lot of vultures out there lying in wait to ****** your hard earned cash.......It simply amazes me at how prolific and sophiticated stealing has become........
