Just doing an FYI....Master wrote this over on his blog: "Most of us have seen the infamous subject line in our email: "URGENT - Update your PayPal Account".. Well, as it turns out - the hyperlink can take you to a seemingly innocuous, legitimate website.. Except it doesn't.. Instead - it takes you to a phony website spoofed to look like PayPal's login screen.. By putting in your username/password information - some thief can take your information and let the endless spending games begin....
The latest trick is to spoof Amazon.com...
-Never click on the hyperlink in the email..
-ALWAYS type out the correct URL for PayPal and Amazon to sign into your account..
-Report the erroneous email to PayPal and Amazon's security departments..
At best, they will contact the host company for the erroneous website and shut it down..
Be careful out there"
