I recieved another email claimed as a paypal customer support few days ago. At first i was so scared after reading and hurriedly log in to my paypal account. But it surprise me to see that my paypal seems so fine and there is nothing wrong with it. I checked the email again and click the given link but it take me to different website. I also checked the the website which it says ISP host but then later i realized this is big time scam. I'm glad that i didn't fill up any of the form which they said i need to confirm or i will be in trouble, really. I just hope this people will stop sending me this kind of crap.

what happen did somebody hack into your account? I hope everything is ok. Take care.
goodness i got the same thing in the mail before and I almost keyed in my paypal login ID and password until i noticed the address that says lycos.com or something like that! I almost fell from the from dead due to heart attack! We really need to be cautious really!
Beware! It's a trick to get your PayPal ID. DO NOT click the link. Only Login to your account from new tab and type the PayPal URL! That's what i know...
Oh no, this is serious. I better claim my miserable pennies first from Paypal ha!
Is everything alright at your end now? Keep me posted ok, this is really something that we all should take note of. Thank you for sharing!

I always receive this kind email but ignore it, sometimes I ticket paypal directly and ask about this bogus email.
Always check the url that given on the email. Use copy link location or copy url address and paste into your browser you will see if it's paypal or not
