Email from PayPal... scam or real? Easy 10 points?

Im worried about this, i have gotten multiple, is it real or fake? a keylogger?





Dear PayPal customer,


We have recently determined that different computers have logged onto your online account,


and multiple password failures were present before the login.


It is now necessary to re-confirm your account information to us.


If this is not completed by 10 January, 2010 we will be forced to suspend your account indefinitely, as they may have been used for fraudulent purposes.


To confirm your account records, click the following link:

Thank you for your patience in this matter,








PayPal Customer Service

Thanks for the help|||Scam, the link does not even do to paypal.com, it goes to a phishing site. If you hover over the link (don't click it!), the status bar at the bottom of your browser may show the phishing site name...





To be sure, just log into your paypal account directly, from your browser by typing in the URL "www.paypal.com". If there are any problems, they will notify you as you log in....|||scam|||Scam.|||Scam :)|||yep i think it's a scam, if it is real, then let them suspend your account, and re-set it another day.the reason i think it's a scam is because this is the oldest trick in the book for getting bank account details.|||This is a scam, especially if you got multiple.
