最近有不肖歹徒假冒paypal名義發信，說你的帳戶最近有不正常的非法登入狀況，請您上網更改相關設定。但連結網址卻指到另一個站台。
辨別是否真為paypal官方所寄的信函很簡單，如果是paypal寄的，收件者一定是你的名字，如果是這個 case所說的"Dear Paypal Member"，那一定是假的。
下面這封為假冒訊息，收掉請直接刪除，不要去嘗試連結。
Dear PayPal(r) Member:
Recently, our Account Review Team identified some unusual activity in
your
account. In accordance with PayPal's User Agreement and to ensure that
your
account has not been compromised, access to your account was limited.
Your
account access will remain limited until this issue has been resolved.
This
is a fraud prevention measure meant to ensure that your account is not
compromised.
In order to secure your account and quickly restore full access, we may
require some specific information from you for the following reason:
We would like to ensure that your account was not accessed by an
unauthorized third party. Because protecting the security of your
account
is our primary concern, we have limited access to sensitive PayPal
account
features. We understand that this may be an inconvenience but please
understand that this temporary limitation is for your protection.
Case ID Number: PP-332-182-001
We encourage you to log in and restore full access as soon as possible.
Should access to your account remain limited for an extended period of
time, it may result in further limitations on the use of your account.
However, failure to restore your records will result in account
suspension.
Please update your records on or before April 30, 2005.
Once you have updated your account records, your PayPal session will not
be
interrupted and will continue as normal.
Please update your Paypal record:

We
apologize for any inconvenience.
