Recently i got a E-Mail asking me to verify my PayPal account details otherwise PayPal will be going to suspend my PayPal account by the end of February 20, 2009. For a casual user this E-Mail looks like a real PayPal E-Mail asking its users to verify their accounts. Scam E-Mail includes a url that looks like a Paypal login url but when users clicks on this url, users will be redirected to a webpage saying that this webpage has been moved from PayPal and users are redirected to fake website asking them to enter their PayPal username and password.
The complete E-Mail is as follows
