I had a similar email quite a while back, but it said that I needed to update my account or it would be deleted. That sort of caught me off guard since I had just used the paypal account a couple of weeks earlier. So, I clicked the link on the email and logged on to what I thought was the paypal site. Then it said that I needed to enter cc info. Well that made me mad since I was using paypal only because I do not have a cc and I just closed the window. Then after I thought about it for a few moments, I typed in paypal.com and logged in again and couldn't find anything saying I needed a cc. I emailed paypal and asked them why I needed to enter cc info and if it is now required then they might as well cancel my account. They emailed me back pretty quickly and told me to forward the email to them and to change my password on their site immediately. When I had clicked on the link and logged in through the email, I gave them (scammers) my password, lucky I did not have a cc to enter or I might have done it. They said that they have never and will never send an email asking me to log in and update anything such as that and to delete any further emails of that nature that I might receive.

Even the link in the paypal phishing scam email is pointing to paypal.com. Sometime back there was other one that required users to call a phone number to give the account details.

Paypal will NEVER refer to you as dear paypal member.
