Most of these scams are now coming from Russia, with some from China.

Of course we've said it before but it's always worth repeating to newbies...never clickon an e-mail link. Go to PayPal itself and see if the message is there.

If I was a scammer, I would take the time to make sure my phishing e-mails were put together flawlessly. Even if you weren't aware of the way these guys try to scam people, it seems like a dead giveaway when you read an e-mail from what is supposed to be a big-time company and they don't know that there should be a period between the dollar amount and the cents. Little things like that and inconsistent amount of spaces between words and periods should be a warning flag to people.
