I just got an email that said paypal and opened it to find a letter that said my account would expire if i didn't go into my account and update my information. Typical scam. The part that makes it worse is that the entire email is a link so if you accidentally click ANYWHERE on it, it automatically start to phish. I have never seen something so sneeky.
