I received an email from 'service@paypal.com' today ...

We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal account
from a different IP address.

If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in
attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you did not initiate
the log ins, please visit PayPal as soon as possible to check-up your
account information:

hxxp://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run

Thanks for your patience.

Sincerely,
PayPal

The above URL is actually pointing to :

hxxp://www.muk.pe.kr/board/pkg/main.htm

This page looks almost identical to the real Paypal log-in screen. So watch out !!

Phishing ... Phishing ... Phishing ...

I get about 4 of these a day... so sick of them. GMail does a good job to protect them though. Makes the whole message a picture... cool feature

When I'm bored I like to fool around on these forms. They always seem to lack any verification for the forms so anything goes ;)
