Just a heads up for those who use paypal.
I received a e-mail from "paypal" today informing me 'my account has been limited' and I need to log onto my account (it supplied a specific attachment through the e-mail) and answer some questions to remove the limitations. I was suspicious just with the number of spelling mistakes so I called paypal and they said this was a scam (called 'phishing') and if you log on, someone can access your account and steal your personal info and use it. They told me to forward the e-mail to them and then delete it from my system.
So if anyone gets this e-mail or knows someone who does- do not open it, just delete it from your computer.
