Paypal Phishing scam

Paypal Phishing scam 

Security experts Sophos have warned all users of PayPal to be on the lookout for bogus emails that appear to come from the PayPal official address.
The emails claim that accounts have been temporarily limited and ask for user log-in details to remedy the 'problem'.
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant said in a blog post,
"Plenty of people have been targeted by an attack which uses the subject line 'Your account has been temporarily limited!', and claims to come from what appears to be an official PayPal address," he said.
"Beware opening the attached reactivation form too quickly, because you could be passing your personal information to cyber criminals."
