Nice....paypal scam

This one went to my correct email box AND correctly called me by my CORRECT full name.
Of course, the "mouse-over" on the link they provide you to correct things isn't to paypal. Also, instead of saying to login, they give the link.
So, it isn't perfect, but it certainly is one of the best scams I have seen so far (no glaring misspellings like normal either).
So, just be SUPER careful out there.....legitimate emails aren't the only ones using your correct email alias and real name now........almost like someone from within paypal/ebay leaked the info (maybe making a buck a name or something) to a scammer or is doing a side business.....

It's good.
I went into paypal directly, and nothing unusual. Sent it to Spoof at Paypal, they came back very quickly and said it was fake.
