While I was dropping EC the other day I caught my attention about this posted entry from Ness. So I would like to share this to you just read the attachment below
--------------------------------------------
I got an e-mail that looked very legitimate.
The e-mail says: Notification of Limited Account Access
From: service@paypal.com
Yes, it looks very legit. But be VERY CAREFUL! Check the e-mail address, its not from service@paypal.com, but from service@verio.com
I fell for it, but luckily, my virus scanner was able to detect that is was a scam.
The email goes like this:
