PayPal Scam

[Jerry R]

Received an email today - from "Account Service" subject "Your Account has been Limited"
Body of email looks like an authentic message from PayPal wanting you to log in to "reset" your account.
I forwarded it to spoof@paypal.com for verification, but the sender was actually "palepal @ outlook.com" I inserted spaces to keep from creating a link.
Looks like someone is phishing email servers.
I would suggest not opening, and certainly not clicking any link in the body of the email if you do open it.

Thanks for the heads up Jerry.

Haven't gotten anything yet ... but I'll be on the look out now.

I can see why phishing scams still persist. I'm sure a few people still fall for it. Afterall, we still get calls of people falling victim of the Nigerian email scam.

I've seen these come through my inbox several times but I've learned to never take anything that comes though my personal email seriously.
