Im guessing that everyone would have received at one time or another fraudulent emails supposedly from banks asking you for information and to logon to confirm details etc.

Just lately i have received a couple from paypal. The email contains some convenient links for you to log on with. These links go to a cleverly designed page made to look like the real deal, but are in fact fraudulent copies of the paypal site designed to harvest your account details.

The rub is to never ever login to a sensitive account via a link without checking that the url link goes to right webserver.

I know most of you would be aware of the nature of such scams, but not everyone is as internet savvy, and I would hate to see anyone caught out by these scumbags.
