Here Is YET ANOTHER Paypal-Related "Phish"!

Here is yet another copy of an email that I got in my inbox:


Warning : Your credit card will expire soon.

- You may no longer be able to use PayPal

To avoid any interruption to your service, please update your credit card by following the link below :

https://www.paypal.com/~

Thank you for using PayPal!
The PayPal Team

Please do not reply to this email. This mailbox is not monitored and
you will not receive a response. For assistance, log in to your PayPal
account and click the Help link located in the top right corner of any
PayPal page.

PayPal Email ID PP-~



While the link on the email includes Paypal's legitimate website address, a quick check of the link shows that if you click on that link it will take you to an entirely different website!

So you really have to be careful! If you have a Paypal account and get an email just like the one above, then you should go directly to the PayPal Website and check the status of your Paypal account.

Do not click on a link provided in an email! Go directly to the Paypal website!
