Warning - New Paypal Spoofing Attack
Wanted to do a quick heads-up that I was almost fooled a minute back by thinking that my partner Sudeshna's Paypal got limited - which was actually false - spoofed. I didn't click on email links - just went to Paypal and checked that everything was normal.
Pasting to make sure that you folks don't fall for it.
