X-post from GD: A general warning [View all]

I received an email telling me my paypal account has been Iimited (notice the capital "I" which I've underlined and bolded.)

The from address for this was: "service @ intI.paypaI.com" (I added the spaces.) Also notice the use of capital "I"s.

This is a phishing scam. Don't fall for it!


Someone you don't know is looking for a big holiday present from you. Don't oblige.
