PayPal users, watch out for fake invoices being e-mailed to you.

Three times now I have received e-mails with the subject line "Receipt for your payement" that are supposedly from PayPal. The e-mail is made to look exactly like it came from PayPal, and all three times showed a receipt for the purchase of a cellphone.

The only available link on the e-mail says "Click here to dispute this charge". If you click on the link, you are taken to a site that looks just like PayPal, and you are asked to log-in with your ID and Password.

DO NOT EVER LOG INTO ONE OF THESE LINKS!

The first one I got, I was suspicious, and checked the URL of the site that I had been sent to, and it was just some random server, not PayPal. Being a careful sort, I did nothing, and immediately went to PayPal directly, logged into my account, and found that there was no such charge made to my account - the whole thing was a ruse to get me to input my ID and Password on the bogus PayPal site, thus giving the owners of that site my log-in information.

DO NOT EVER FALL FOR THIS SCAM - YOU WILL BE GIVING AWAY THE ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT TO CRIMINALS.

Just wanted to warn all of you PayPal users out there. Don't fall fall for it, just forward the e-mail you got to [e-mail]
