PHISH WARNING

There is another PayPal phish doing the rounds.

This one claims that there has been some unauthorised activity in my account, and asks that I click through on a link to verify my account details etc.

This is a phish, designed to trick you into revealing your account details.

If you receive one of these do not click on the link, throw the mail away.
