PayPal | Please Restore Your Account Access

WARNING - This Email Has Managed To Get Through Spam Blocker.

This email has unusually made it through a spam blocker to arrive in my inbox. Most usually get deleted on the way, but this one survived, somehow.

It's also not sent to 'undisclosed recipients', as with a couple of other emails today the To: address is my correct email address. Overall, this email is very convincing and will reach a lot of people.

The target URL instead of PayPal is http://www.networker.kube-csc.net/raid/paypal.php. Quite interesting that the developer put 'raid' into the URL name - are they warning us what will happen to PayPal accounts if we are foolish enough to believe the email?

Overall, it looks well orchestrated. But it's not genuine - if you have received it, delete it now.

Here's the content:
