As PayPal states repeatedly, "You should only share information about your account once you have logged in to https://www.paypal.com/."; Not http://218.62.43.30/verify.html. IOW, yes, it's a scam.

No, it gets sent to everyone whether they have a PayPal account or not. Like spam, credit card scams don't even need anything close to a 1% response rate to be profitable, so they don't care how many non-PayPal-users get it. -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
