There've been many variants of that going around for the longest time.

I love how they use any email address they can get, then attach that email to it. I have gotten it several times now, the last one wanting to verify my information. Yeah, right. Deleted.

First time I have received one of these. Sorry if this is old news. Rather be a newb and let folks know about it.

I think I have gotten more fake Pay Pal emails then the rest of you combined. Most of which has been reported to spoof@paypal.com Most of them of course don't come with the email paypal.com in the senders box. But there are that are a few that are damn close. But I have gotten a few that do say paypal.com , of course I know they are phony as a 3 dollar bill. Why I am not a member of Pay Pal and as long as I still am getting these phishing emails I never will.
