I received an email from support@paypal.com today, titled "ReNew Account Information". Here is what the email writes:

This e-mail is the notification of recent innovations taken by PayPal to detect inactive customers and non-functioning mailboxes.

The inactive customers are subject to restriction and removal in the next 3 months.

Please confirm your email address and and Credit Card info number by logging in to your PayPal account using the form below:

Your Address Information - You may only enter English characters during Sign Up. This does NOT include characters with accents. Please enter your name and address as they are listed for your credit card or bank account. Your primary currency is the currency in which you are expecting to send and receive the majority of your payments.

Re-enter ATM PIN:

Security Measure: This must be completed to sign up for a PayPal account
Enter the characters as they are shown in the box below. This will further increase the security of your account and the PayPal network. This is not your password. Help

The layout of the email is EXACTLY like the one you see in the official Paypal website. Holy...I am amazed, and the email is from "support@paypal.com".

I don't think Paypal would ever ask for their customers' email password. And the most striking thing is the email asks for the credit card's ATM PIN too!!!!!!!!!!

Be careful!!! Don't get your ebay's account hijacked

I would advise the e-mail is not opened (at least the attachment) as it is a worm virus.
