Warning for all Paypal users - scam alert

[Spiral Traveller]

I received this email today and felt real funny about responding to it. (I would think that the very first clue would be the ".ro" top level domain? I guess the Romanian PayPal office is in charge of these "updates"... LOL!) It looks like this is a scam site - you go there, enter in your password and paypal account thinking you are updating it, but instead you are basically giving away your info to someone else.

Fair warning if you receive this email.

I think the key is to have as many people as possible go to the site and fill out info.
not correct info, but if they are going to host a database allowing us to put stuff in it, might as well fill it up on their dollar.

it's not a scam, you give them your credit card numbers and they'll tell you if any are lucky!
