Another Phishing email targeted at PayPal. Pointers for the unwary that it's phishing:
1 - emailed to 'undisclosed recipients'
2 - starts 'Dear Customer', rather than using my name
3 - PayPal would never send an email asking me to enter personal details
4 - the link is actually pointing to http://static-68-179-55-98.ptr.terago.ca/paypal.com/managament/cgi/ - terago.ca are actually a broadband provider, so I assume someone is misusing some account space on their site.
It's not real, don't click the links. I've sent a copy to PayPal. Here's the text.
Dear Customer,
It has come to our attention that your PayPal® account information needs to be updated as part of our continuing commitment to protect your account and to reduce the instance of fraud on our website.
