Strange PayPal E-Mail
Just wanted to let you guys and girls know that I got a strange e-mail saying my paypal account got restricted in the title. I did not open it of course and as I expected, it was not real. Just a warning for people here that use paypal. Probably some kind of way to get your login details.

Uhm... just for you guys to know: if you got a mail like that, never click any links. Paypal usually will never ask you that. If you got doubts, go to paypal.com directly and DO NOT click any links in the email, as they usually forward you to a phishing website.

Advanced users also check email headers to see which servers those mails originated from.

That being said, paypal phishing mails have been around like forever. Its like the prince of nigeria mail crap.

As been said before: Avoid clicking links in mails and activate your brain. Lots of spam are created to look like you get serious trouble if you don't contact your bank / PP / gameservice. Think if that could be a possibility even. As soon as you start thinking you more or less won.
