Subject: [CR]New internet scam: fake Paypal letter.

I just recieved a supposed email from Paypal addressed to "Dear Member" which is the first give away that the email is a scam. The email tells that my account is in reciept of payment for items which I never listed or sold. The body of the transaction looks fine, with Ebay item number I could but won't log onto, shipping information etc. Of course the letter at the bottom wants confirmation from me, as to whether I accept the funds, which means logging on a giving password information away.

Be careful, the scammers are clever and keep finding new ways !!
