What got me was the fact the site looks just like the real paypal! I barely just noticed no secure site icon in the bottom right of the screen and that set off the alarms. But it was close...I was just about to enter my info. Buggers!

Dirty buggers mate

I get those emails daily, makes me sick to see this kinda shit going on - blatantly just some jakey sitting in his house waiting to rob you. We can only hope bad things happen to them :D

btw, with Vista, theres a really neat "phishing" filter (phishing = what that email is doing - trawling thru the internet being sent daily to millions of folk in the chance of getting ONE password) that blocks the dodgy ones and highlights ones that could be dodgy...

I'm on Vista and as soon as I opened that link, this popped up:

Suspected Web Forgery..this page has been reported as a forgery blah blah..and you can either ignore the warning and continue on to the page or be re-directed to your homepage. I think its built into Mozilla- handy little utility eh!?

Yep I used firefox, clicked on the link and it came up with a big warning page saying they may try and steal my information. Bastards, its my information, they can't have it. Pikey fucks.

Stuff like these scams really worries me at times all it take is to check your mail late at night when your half asleep and fill it in with out really thinking about it.

There should be much greater online security really but i dont think its intirely possible with out invading people privacy!
