Hi, I received a similar e-mail this morning, the site is so convincing, I nearly put all my details into their form, but I did log in, I am wondering if they can access my account via my password!!!! I have written an e-mail to paypal and am waiting to hear back! These sites seem to be getting better at making you think they are the real thing!!!!!

I logged in using my password too. I didnt fill the form in as something didn't seem quite right. I've just changed my password, I only hope nothing will come of it 😕

Hey there guys,
You are right in thinking that this email is a fake and not sent from PayPal.
Sparky300, I can see your said “PayPal customer”, this is the first give away that its not from PayPal.
PayPal will always address an email to your name. You will never get an email address to something general like Dear PayPal customer, Dear valued member etc. It will always has the name registered on your PayPal account.
Smikewait, I can see you have another post on this so I didn't answer the second one.
If any of you still have the emails or receive anymore you can forward them on to spoof@paypal.com for review with our security department.

I did not pay attention to the details and "logged in" but when I saw they needed my credit card details I clicked. Have changed my password (incase they are also tracking that info) and forwarded email to spoof@paypal.com
I'll remember the fake password trick in the future. That's a good one!
