India
September 22, 2010 6:41am CST
Recently i got an email with an html attachment from paypal to verify your account . I actually thought it was sent by palpal. Then i noticed it sent from services@paypalc.com, you can see its from patpalc.com a fake one to get your information. so people make sure not fall on those tricks and also do not install any program that are not safe,they can get your information.

Did you forward that to paypal? You should! Many of paypal members have been receiving this email for a long time. I am not sure if Paypal has ever done anything to stop this except alert the members about the scam.

I've received a similar mail from "paypal" a while back now. It's really sad that someone would do something like that...
