I thought I'd make this topic so we can share any details of dangerous mail we've been getting. This is mainly so that we can help others on and off this forum (coz I often Google suspious mail myself) stay safe.
My latest mail claims to be from PayPal, and reads:

Now, lemme tell you one very good, and obvious reason why this is fake; it was sent to an email address I don't use for PayPal. XD
