I opened my email today checking for emails from friends and notifications. I was having a great time reading through some of the messages I received from friendly people. However, when I got to the Spam part of my Yahoo mail, I panicked a bit when I read the subject on one of the emails saying:
[ Notification ] - Your billing details have been changed!
The email contained:
Dear Member,
Account Status - Limited/Suspended!
Account Offense - Violation of Terms of Service section 4 - Account has been accessed by unauthorized IP's.
Details - An investigation of your PayPal account has found strong evidence that the account in question is being abused.
In accordance with Terms of Service section 4, Paragraph B a probationary suspension is pending on this account, awaiting confirmation from a specialist.
A final warning has been issued. The investigation will be continued by the Account Administration Team to determine the any further suspensions.

I of course did not follow what they were telling me to do.
I totally dislike people who send emails like this one to scam people. How about those who are innocent about such matters?
