-
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 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.

Dear PayPal Account Owner
To provide our customers the most effective and secure online access to their
Account(s), we are now upgrading our online services. As we add new features
and enhancements to our service, there are certain browser versions, which will not
support these system upgrades. As many customers already know, Microsoft Internet
Explorer has significant 'holes' or 'vulnerabilities' that virus creators can easily take
advantage of.
In order to further protect your account, we have introduced some new important
security standards and browser requirements. PayPal security systems requires that
you test your browser now to see if it meets the requirements for PayPal's Internet
Buy/Seller Programs.
Please click here to test your browser.
Sincerely
Lisa Lowe
