    After a quiet spell there's a new phishing email doing the rounds

    The subject line reads: Urgent : Identity Confirmation Required

    Don't be fooled; I've already reported it to PayPal

    Hi......This spoof email first came out over 5 years or so ago. Paypal don't do much except confirm that it is spoof & remind everyone that all genuine emails are addressed personally to the account holders name.

    Same with Skrill (Moneybookers). A similar confirmation spoof email came out originally about 3 years ago & was repeated this summer.

    As you suggest, these are very dangerous to the unwary so thank you for starting this thread.

    I recently had to genuinely confirm my identity with Skrill recently but everything was done through their website.....not via email links.

    Usefully, because of a bug in Firefox, you can roll the pointer over the contained link and see the actual target address in the status line at the bottom, instead of the Javascript-controlled text which would normally appear
