I recived an email in my inbox from  service@paypal with some numbers after.  I don't remember the exact numbers as I have since blocked it.  but opening it it looked very well crafted. said that fraud was detected on my account and that a recent payment was denied for my safty.   there was a link to click in the email. however I did not click it. instead I went directly to the paypal website and phoned them directly to question about this email and it is fake. its a first time this happened to me since normaly with scam emails they are sent directly to my junk folder.. but this one wasn't so I was a bit consernd.  thought I would share it in case anyone els has had this email.
