I just received this e-mail with a totally authentic-appearing PayPal html background.
I suspect it is a phishing scam; I forwarded it to PayPal's spoof address.
Appears very dangerous to me. Plese do not respond to such without verification!
"We recently noticed an attempt to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign ip address and we have reason to believe that your account was used by third party
without your authorization.
If you recently accessed your account while traveling ,the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. Therefore, if you are the rightful account holder,
click on the link below to log into your account and follow the instructions.

If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us on choice but to temporarily suspend your account."
The link did not hold the same url as displayed in the text!
