E mail from Pay Pal???

Hi there,

   I have received an e mail, supposedly from PayPal, saying that my account details need to be checked, and I will not be able to use my account properly until this is done. There is a form attatched, asking for all my personal details, including my account details. How do I know if this is bona fide? I have accessed my PayPal account, there are no messages on there, I bought something today, and that payment is listed as completed.

Anyone got any ideas? I'm loathe to fill in the form, and don't know what to do.

Thank You

I have had a very similar thing, am absolutely sure it's not genuine, not least because the logo is very dodgy! I have forwarded it to spoof@paypal.com for them to deal with.

100% spoof.

 

PayPal never e-mail you forms to fill out.
