Yeah it's rediculous. I must get an email a month from 'PayPal' telling me my account has been frozen and to login in via the provided link. I bet LOADS of people follow the instructions on the email.

Funny thing is the links aren't even well disguised most of the time, just have the main site's name in from of the PayPal address. I guess some people just are that stupid/ignorant. (no offence anyone who regularly clicks on links in emails)
