Gaming VERY authentic-looking Paypal fake
My wife received a very authentic looking "Paypal" email tonight. It contained a link to Paypal's login site. The link was correct, except it redirected you through another site for a split second and then to a fake "Paypal" site that instructed you to download some "Paypal" security software. Needless to say, this was not something Paypal sent out. Beware. Paypal repeatedly states that they will NEVER ask for your password via email or direct you to do anything that requires you to send your password.

DOH!!!! That would have made sense, no?

I'm sure she'll get another one. When she does, I'll make sure to forward it on to Paypal.
