Checking through my emails this morning and going through the spam box I came across an important message from Paypal regarding my account... Looks fairly genuine at first glance doesn't it ? But I'm a naturally suspicious person when it comes to this kind of thing, so before I click on the inviting link to confirm my details, I did this.. What that bunch of data is at the top of the email is, is the information about who sent the mail to you or where the link goes to.. You can access this by looking in you email programs settings and finding the "headers" setting and enabling the "show all" or similar wording... If you look close, the link is actually to some random "data @ rub.cadinor . com.... Now re-read the email...notice the grammar mistakes and poor sentence structure....nice try scammers...

I know, but some people just hurry through life, never properly reading things, just scanning the page, spelling mistake can be easy to miss. I'm sure you will have seen that paragraph that was doing the rounds where the words have their letters jumbled but it could still be read as our brains just used certain letters to ascertain the words. Customer easily slips under the radar at a glance, if someone is a heavy Paypal user then they are very likely to click the link.
