目前，站长们购买海外域名和主机的热情高涨，Paypal成为站长付款的重要途径，方便快捷，可以在不透漏自己信用卡信息的前提下完成付款，Paypal一定程度上保护了站长的财务安全。然而，今天早上收到的2封假冒Paypal的邮件，让人有点开始担忧。
了解一下Paypal:
PayPal是在线收款解决方案的全球领导者，全世界有超过1.53亿个帐户用户。PayPal可由买家和卖家、在线零售商和其他商家在190个市场以17种货币使用。快速、安全而又方便，是跨国交易的理想解决方案。
通过Paypa可以在不透漏自己的信用卡情况下进行国际付款，非常方便快捷。然而正是paypal的这种便利快捷被不法分子盯上了。
邮件全文如下：
Dear PayPal Customer,
PayPal is committed to maintaining a safe environment for our community of customers. To protect the security of your account, PayPal employs some of the most advanced security systems in the world and our anti-fraud teams regularly screen the PayPal system for unusual activity.
We are contacting you to remind that on 13 January 2008 our Account Review Team identified some unusual activity in your account. In accordance with PayPal's User Agreement and to ensure that your account has not been compromised, access to your account was limited. Your account access will remain limited until this issue has been resolved.
To secure your account and quickly restore full access, we may require some additional information from you for the following reason:
We have been notified that a card associated with your account has been reported as lost or stolen, or that there were additional problems with your card.
This process is our mandatory, and if not completed within the nearest time your account or credit card may be subject for temporary suspension.

全文意思大概是paypal检测到用户帐户有一些非正常活动，为了保护用户帐户安全,需要用户手动确认帐户，否则将暂停用户的帐户和信用卡。并且给出了一个操作链接。
相信很多人看到这份邮件时，不少人都会信以为真。确实如此，了解paypal的朋友大概都知道paypal曾在官方网站上说明也明确告知过，paypal用户帐户可能会因为各种原因被临时暂停。而这些骗子也正是利用了这一点开始了他们的诈骗活动。
邮件全文并无太多显示诈骗的线索，不过一向谨慎也留了一个心眼，最后还是从几个细节之处确认这是一个圈套。
1、骗子所发过来的邮件收件人是我的一个对外工作的邮件地址，并且此邮箱我也从未注册过paypal。我注册的paypal邮箱并未收到此类邮件；
2、查看邮件相关信息，发现收件人地址居然是空的，很显然这是通过群发邮件过来的。
3、当点击连接时，看似跳转到paypal官方网站，在该网页反敲右键“; 这个ip地址来源于韩国，显然这不是官方网站
4、在登录页胡乱输入用户名和密码居然直接进去了，并且是“Update your Paypal Account”页面，页面上要求填写信用卡信息，相信到这里，大家可以确定这是一个骗子的圈套了。
