Pay Pal Scam!!! @ 10-01-2006 09:29 PM

I recieved a fraud email from a hacker today that dressed up the email as a paypal-registeration-update email asking me to login and update my information. when i log in, the pages look exactly like paypal but are not, you can spot this by looking at the page address (URL) if it isnt http://www.paypal.com, then its fraud...

if you get these pay pal fraud messages, help stop scammers by forwarding it to spoof@paypal.com

S for secure..if it aint there, it aint them..Just FYI
