 I received this e mail from so called service paypal team asking to verified my paypal account.Well at first glance, It looks so original untill I suspect something different with the email. The add is service[@]pay-pal.com. This is what we call phishing email.

So immediately I try to log in to my paypal account and report it to paypal team  at spoof@paypal.com .

Immediately, I received some appreciation reply from them.Well guys, better be extra careful when receiving suspicious-looking emails asking for your account. Please counter check with the relevant parties.

Dear Azlan Bin A.raof,

-------------------------
What is a phishing email?
-------------------------
Phishing emails attempt to steal your identity and will often ask you
 to
reveal your password or other personal or financial information. PayPal

will never ask for your password over the phone or in an email and will

always address you by your first and last name.

Take our Fight Phishing Challenge at
https://www.paypal.com/fightphishing to learn 5 things you should know
about phishing. You'll also see what we're doing to help fight fraud
every day.

You've made a difference.
-------------------------
Every email counts. By forwarding a suspicious-looking email to
spoof@paypal.com, you've helped keep yourself and others safe from
identity theft.

Thanks,

The PayPal Team
