>> Hello all,
>> There seems to be a spate of phishing attempts using a very well 
>> faked e-mail
>> purporting to be from Paypal support.
>> 
>> This is Paypal's policy :
>> 
>> PayPal and its representatives will NEVER ask you to reveal your
>> password. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy. If anyone 
>> claiming to
>> work for PayPal asks for your password under any circumstances, by 
>> emailor by phone, please refuse and immediately contact us via 
>> webform at
>> https://www.paypal.com/wf/f=sa_pass.
>> 
>> Also, Paypal ALWAYS addresses their text to your profile name, 
>> NEVER Dear Member
>> or Dear Paypal Member
>> Hope this helps to prevent anyone being fooled.
