received phising scam which got through my spam and phising filters. I was alerted only because the email used payple rather than paypal . it was asking for verification and linking through to vitamins website

 

I have let paypal know the details vai spoof@paypal.com but although I originally posted them here I was asked to remove them as the site's policy is not to name and shame, so hopefully enough that  remaining that other folks recieving this can be alerted.

Best to remove the email addy as you are not supposed to name and shame on this public board.

 

Secondly why not just delete it or send it to spoof@paypal.com
