Spoof ebay & PayPal sites are getting better - be warned

This >> one << arrived in my mail box this morning, but if you sign in (Remember, those of little brain, not to use you genuine log in!) and follow the process through, note how realistic the whole thing is. All the links work to genuine PayPal pages and the "processing" delay is spot on! The original message was not bad either - better than most.

The only snag (from their point of view) with the whole experience is that the url window shows "paypal-updates.info" which is not a bad approximation of a genuine department, but not quite close enough!

However, I think they are getting closer to their goal of a 100% imitation!

You have been warned - the crooks are improving!
