Be wary of any e-mails from Paypal. This latest scam involves the use of Paypals OWN redirection service.
The URL you receive via e-mail looks some this:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr/cgi-bin/
webscr?cmd=_ssr&return=http%3A%2F%2Fpaypal-us.6s.[removed]/
?cgi-bin.webscrcmd=_login-run.webscrcmd=_account-run.CaseIDNumberPP-046-631-789
Note the embedded URL "paypal-us.6s.pl" is used to have Paypal redirect to the phishing site, making the link a valid, official Paypal link!
Be VERY careful when you receive any suspicious links via e-mail for any Paypal correspondence.
