Hi Guys,

Don't know if I have put this in the right place.

Nice one, Aiala --

There is certainly more than one kind of "Phishing".

As a veteran of over 5000 PayPal transactions I can tell you, they will never ask you for your log in information thru an email. You must log in through the PayPal site on your own to conduct any business.

Usually the origin of the email will give it away, or something will be misspelled in the content. Another dead giveaway is that Your account will be disabled if you don't proceed. DELETE!

Exactly.
No legitimate financial organization of any type would remove your account in this fashion.
