I received an email from so called PayPal Support and said my account was hold due to suspicious activity. There's a transaction that I never made to pay to some guy so I was informed to login in to verify my account or it will be suspended.
I go to paypal website to login to my account instead of clicking the link they provided. I'm not sure if the message is a valid Paypal support or just a fraud. This link they provided me has the same design.
Below is the screen shot that i took.

What did you find when you logged in?
Were there any suspicious transactions?
Wehre there any messages from PayPa?
Did you have full access to your account?
I should have been quite obvious that the email address was not a valid PayPal email address.
It would be quite obvious from the e-mail that that there was a scam awaiting your click.
You could forward to spoof at PayPal.com

After I logged in to the fake Paypal site using the fake password. The page asked to filled in my personal information and card info. Obviously it is fishing for my information so I took the screen shot but didn't give in my particular. I am not sure where can I report this scam email. The Paypal site doesn't have the link to report for the scam.
