Default Notification from Billing Department‏

This is the title of yet another PayPal phishing attempt. I've been getting a lot of these and they're getting more accurate and authentic.

Someone who's familiar with phishing would see their flaws though.

Take a look at the email:

Quote:
We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address.

If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However if you are the rightful holder of the account,click on the link below to log into the account and follow the instructions.


If you choose not to complete the request, you give us no choice but to suspend your account temporary.
It takes at least 72 hours for the investigation in this case and we strongly recommend you to verify your account at that time.
If you received this notice and you are not the authorized account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of PayPal policy to represent oneself as an other PayPal user.Such action may also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law. PayPal is committed to assist law enforcement with any inquires related attempts to missapropriate personal information with the intent to commit fraud or theft. Information will be provided at the request or law enforcement agencies to ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Thanks for your patience as we work together to protect your account.
PayPal Account Review Department.
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 PP00145
Copyright © Paypal 2007. All rights
The link within the email, https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run, leads to http://www.pensiunea-rubin.com/sitem...cmd/update.php, not PayPal.
That's the second thing I noticed that raised a flag in my head.

What's the first?

The email it came from.

Quote:
From: PayPal (accounts@paypal.us)
All of PayPal's emails are from "paypal.com" and doesn't have "accounts", "sales" or anything similar in it.
