New scam on the internet????

I think I have experienced a new scam thru the email today, so I would like to warn you all.

The email is posted as a invoice from Paypal (service@paypal.com) indicating that a transaction has gone thru with an individual in the amount of $300. It looks like a real thing with all the detail on it. At the bottom of the invoice, there is a "DISPUTE TRANSACTION" button.

I thought my Paypal account may have been hecked so I click on that button and it brings me to the Paypal log-on screen asking for password. A thought came to my mind. I opened a new windows and go to the Paypal site directly and lon-on from there. I didn't see the "NEW" transaction. OK. Case closed.

Someone just try to steal your Paypal password if you log-on thru their link.

So beware!!!

Whenever I get one of these emails I click on the link. When prompted for my password I type something like "bite.me"

I heard a sobering statistic yesterday about phishing success. NBC reported that 70% give their personal information to these crooks. No wonder I get about three of these a day.

Vhuang, I did the same for a while, but if most are giving real information we are just noise.
