Just received an email from 'paypal' (I am almost sure its a scam):

We need your help

Dear valued PayPaI® Customer,

We need your help resolving an issue with your account. To give us time to work together on this, we've temporarily limited what you can do with your account until the issue is resolved.

What's the problem?

We noticed some unusual activity on the credit card linked to your PayPaI® account.

Case ID Number: PP-001-212-055-698

How you can help

It's usually pretty easy to take care of things like this. Most of the time, we just need a little more information about your account.

It came from paypal address, but php mail()...

anyway, beware of links like http://a80-126-75-27.adsl.xs4all.nl/www.paypal.com/cgi/webscr.htm or http://mail.dfwnb.org/paypal.com/webscr.htm
never put your password there...
 
Get smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT REPLY BACK WITH ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ANY EMAIL YOU GET REQUESTING CODES, PASSWORDS, NAMES OF BANKS, ACCOUNT NUMBERS, ETC...... especially from crap above.... allegedly from paypal. The above is NOT from paypal.

Instead go to your paypal account independently and see if there is a problem. Guess what there usually isnt anything wrong.
 
Paypal would never ask for information like that.

Also, just look at the link: a80-126-75-27.adsl.xs4all.nl/www.paypal.com/cgi/webscr.htm

it's a .nl address. And someone's dsl account at that:-)
