I just got this mail:

I did not get it on my PayPal approved mail (nor through the PayPal android app), but still, my very first phishing attempt :D
Look at the sender's mail :lol:

Gotta love that terrible grammar in the top line.

"Your account has limitation!"

They even copies the "We are making a few changes" header and "This email was sent to X" footer from official PayPal emails, though somehow forgot the capital W on the former and actual name on the latter.

First phishing attempt? I got tons of that stuff, sometimes even with my real name in it (who knows where they got it).

Yes, I got a phishing mail with my full name and street address in it recently for the first time.

Selling of data from the 2014 ebay hack is real.

Your account has limitation!
:lol:

Phishing has no limitation! :x

I got one of these a couple of years ago that was almost perfect, but I still spotted it right away.

Report this to paypal derzemel:
