The site was a perfect spoof of the real PayPal site. If not for the fact that I don't have a credit card linked to the account, I might have been duped. I reported the incident to PayPal and was notified today that they are investigating.
I know that many members use the service - so beware.
I received the same. Having just updated information last week, I reported it as a Phishing attempt. This one looked totally legitimate otherwise. If there's ever any question about such an e-mail, don't click on their links. Use your bookmark or type in their URL.
