September 8, 2006 - PayPal - The Most Phished Site Ever

I can't keep up to all the PayPal phishing attempts. As PayPal is the largest and easiest to use online payment solution they are the most targetted. Here is the latest attempt:



PayPal is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening the accounts in our system. We recently reviewed your account, and we need more information to help us provide you with secure service. Until we can collect this information, your access to sensitive account features will be limited or terminated. We would like to restore your access as soon as possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why is my account access limited?

Your account access has been limited for the following reason(s):

September 09, 2006: We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a 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.
