I received the email below, supposedly from PayPal, with an attachment asking for information.
If you get such an email, DO NOT RESPOND OR EVEN OPEN THE ATTACHMENT.
THESE CHARACTERS ARE PHISHING FOR YOUR INFORMATION.
The advice from PayPal
If you think you received a fake email, forward it to spoof@paypal.com. Do not change the subject line and do not forward the message as an attachment. After you've forwarded the fake email, delete it from your inbox. We'll send you an email response to let you know if the email is indeed a fake. In the meantime, don't click on any links or download any attachments within the suspicious email.
