This is a warning for those who are paypal user like me for this email wasn't filtered I received it straight into my inbox. They are using paypal logo and as you see in the photo They said that they detect unusual charge to a credit card account. good thing I am just ordinary person and only earning a few box, not earnings as big as what this hacker think most especially I do not apply to any credit card .and they will ask you to click the link they provided which said CLICK HERE TO ACTIVATE YOUR ACCOUNT but when you place your cursor in that link you will see at the bottom of your browser you will click the center-security.com.vibrantsu.ca instead of going to www.paypal.com page.
and you will see in the email the FROM you will see there PAYPAL as the name they used but when you place your cursor on that name you will check the email where is it came from, so then you also discovered that it is not really from paypal account which is "service@int.paypal.com as what the email i received everytime i encash my paypal money or received earnings to paypal.But instead it came from "customersservice@ezetop.com"
This is not new to me I have received it before. so beware either from other email. as logn as doesn't come from this exact spelling service@int.paypal.com do not open also do not click paypal from your email. instead to make sure click on the paypal website itself. and also remember that the webpage that you open is real webpage andand not a fake webpage everytime you go to main page of paypal there is a greenlock on the search bar on the right side of it's name.which means that this website is secured and verified by versign inc. that means if you see that you are in genuine paypal site.

I received fake email that claims they were PayPal about two weeks ago. I called PayPal and they sent me out info on this. They also told me that when they send out an email to someone, they use the persons name and not the word customer. They then had me forward the email to them so they could work on it. I ended up forwarding them three emails in four days. I sure hope they catch these people.

It is always better to be careful than sorry. I haven't come across such a fraud email but i'll keep a lookout in future. Thank you very much for sharing this information.
