PayPal | Protect Yourself Against OnLine CreditCard Fraud

PayPal Phishing EmailHere's the second of two phishing emails targeted at PayPal, both having got through spam detectors, both being sent to the same email account and both being received inside 30 minutes of each other.

This time the target URL is http://simplecarsale.com/.PayPal.Com(T)/Edit_Billing/index.php, but I suspect that because it follows the previous email that if other people are also receiving both emails, some are going to think this is PayPal taking action against the first and users could well fall for the second email all the more easily.

Don't fall for it, it's not real! Here's the content:
