paypal did announce a change in their policy recently to improve 'security, the details of which escape me BUT I suspect that this phishing email is socially engineered based on that...........
you know the rule: do not click a link etc............ I vaguely remember that their changes were designed to counteract this sort of thing...but of course they will be on their official website and not in an email. Financial intermediaries DO NOT send email about account information unless it is secure web mail ON their official web site which you can only access through the usual [ secure ] log in procedures....... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter MacGregor" Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 11:13 PM Subject: [wdvltalk] OT Paypal : : Then a PayPal ID is given that I don't recognise.
