700.000 Internet users trapped by a PayPal scam (Le Soir)

I saw the info a few days ago, but as it is gaining momentum, I prefer to warn you... No risk in using paypal, but phishing is a scam that we must denounce. (By default, unless you know what you're doing, never click on a link in an email, always go to the source site, do not trust hyperlinks, their titles (or images and logos) can be misleading and the malicious software payload in return (when you click on the deceptive link or image) can be fatal to many systems...

Finally there, it's more social engineering, so many can be fooled.
