Hi.
Received an interesting email a few days back, could not post it straight away as Pay-Pal had to do some security work on it first.
Here is the email that we received through one of our email address's, as it happens it was not one that we were registered with Pay-Pal with, so 'red flags' went up straight away. Others may not be so lucky so
BE CAREFUL!!!

It looks perfectly legal & above board dosen't it? Well it's not, it is another 'phising' fraud mail trying to get hold of your Pay-Pal account details.
As Pay-Pal put's it. "If any member receives any suspicious emails from us, please send them to our fraud dept straight away for verification. You can find this feature through the 'contact us' part of your members back office."
More info to follow.
