Just be Careful

I know most of us are receiving spam emails each and everyday. But I just want to share to you another spam email I received and it is with regards to Paypal. Good thing the email went to an email account that is not registered at paypal, so I know already that it is a spam mail. So the email goes like this:

They even have a paypal logo with it, and a very trusting person would really believe this is from Paypal. When you click that link you will be directed to paypal BUT notice that the web address itself is not from paypal. So, be very careful.
