That's a wired one...if it was a real email from Paypal then the spelling wouldn't be jumbled up.

But the link seems real enough...it's even got the secure https settings too.

If you think it's a fake email, forward it to [email protected].

Remember to click 'full headers' before you forward it or they won't be able to track it.

Its definately a scam... paypal never send out mails like this, they would only ask you to log into your accolunt as normal they dont give you a link! send it as a spoof for their info....

ive had 2 paypal and 2 ebay scam emails in the last three days and the spelling wasnt like that all looked normal but basically the same just sent them to spoof@ebay and spoof@paypal who sent an email to confirm they were spoof and if i had clicked on the link to change my passwords just as well i didnt must think we r totally stupid

I have quite a few spoof ebay and paypal scams also and I use the following javascript to check the url so see if the url is genuine.

javascript:alert(%22The real URL of this site is: %22 + location.protocol + %22//%22 + location.hostname + %22/%22);

Add it to your favourites (URL Check) with the above script in the url location.
for a quick check open it when viewing a site and it will tell you the 'real' url address of the site.
