Paypal phishing mails

Yesterday I received the following phishing mail titled ” Update your Account Information” which was so precisely designed to look like an original mail from Paypal. At first glance I was not able to distinguish with any other mail from Paypal but by carefully checking the email domain which was “paybal” and checking the Link URL in the mail which was directing to some http://paybal/.. I realized this to be another spam message. I advice you all to be careful while dealing with such mails.

Dear PayPal member
You have recently updated your PayPal account according to our standard security procedures. Unfortunately the update procedure failed because some of the information you provided was incorrect.Please take 5-10 minutes out of your online experience and update your personal records.However, failure to update your records will result in account suspension. To update your PayPal records click on the following link: https://www.paypal.com/row/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-email

Thank You.
