Sorry for the cross-post, and off-topic at that, but:
This morning I received a very authentic looking email from info.paypal.com, claiming that Paypal wanted me to update my browser. (Really.)
It had my name in it and all the right graphics and colors and everything.
Except that the from site was info.paypal.com (whoever they are: hint
- not paypal.com) and the links all had long obfuscated links in them.
I verified with paypal that it was not legitimate, so I though you might all be warned as well.
You may now return to the appropriate technical discussions....
I receive similar mails all the time. Last was from Yahoo, something about some problem. In headers there was info that it was sent from some Indian domain. SMTP server it self is legitimate (Reverse DNS and all) so my server allowed the mail.
If I haven't asked for that mail (activation, etc.) I do not click on it, and even when it should be legitimate I always check the link.
