BEWARE - New PayPal Email Scam

I was so worried about this and it looked SO official but it is a scam.


From my email:


We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address.

If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However if you are the rightful holder of the account,click on the link below to log into the account and follow the instructions.

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run

If you choose not to complete the request, you give us no choice but to suspend your account temporary.

It takes at least 72 hours for the investigation in this case and we strongly recommend you to verify your account at that time.

If you received this notice and you are not the authorized account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of PayPal policy to represent oneself as an other PayPal user.Such action may also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law. PayPal is committed to assist law enforcement with any inquires related attempts to missapropriate personal information with the intent to commit fraud or theft. Information will be provided at the request or law enforcement agencies to ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The return address for this is: accounts@paypal.com

However the link in the email takes you to:

http://dhs.dewitt.edzone....

Then redirects to you to:

http://www.mtmchile.cl/mo...

Suffice it to say, if you clicked on any link like that, clear out your browser's temp files, cache and cookies - and all temp files for browsing - BEFORE you log back in to your paypal account.
