-
Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at PayPal by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- PayPal never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://www.paypal.com/Application-ssl/ Confirmation".
-
The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual PayPal URL.

PayPal has developed a new ANTI-Fraud system which is currently five times (500%) more efficient than the old one,
transactions will be more secure and your PayPal account will be completely safe from online threats.
Therefore, we require you to login to Your PayPal account using the link below and verify your account information in order to sign up for ANTI-Fraud system.
This will merge PayPal's new ANTI-Fraud system with your account and ensure your account will be safe and secure.
You must merge your account with our new system before the 1st of July 2006, as due to the number of PayPal accounts which have been made and never used, currently slow down our systems, and as a result, PayPal must verify which accounts are still active, therefore if you wish to keep your PayPal account and continue using PayPals service, you must click the link below, login to your PayPal account, and fill out the verification form provided.
Any PayPal accounts which have not been combined with our new Anti Fraud system will only have limited access to the new PayPal system and will not be able to send or recieve online PayPal payments, and on the 10th of April will be fully deleted from the PayPal system.
This is being done to improve the PayPal system and ensure you are pleased with the way PayPal works.

Thank you for using PayPal!
The Paypal Team.
