I've had that message at least tree times!!

On the first occasion I did contact PayPal to ask if they were aware of this scam - they asked me to forward the email to them for investigative purposes.

1. For anyone who isn't aware - PayPal will ALWAYS address you by your name and NEVER as 'Dear Customer' etc etc.

2. Also check the grammar - as it will often be quite obvious that it has been written by someone whose native tongue isn't English.

Had one from "Amazon" today. Apparently someone has tried several times to log into my account.
Batsards !
Everything's OK though, I just need to click the link in the email and enter my password on the Amazon webpage it sends me to.
