There is a PayPal scam going around. Saying your account is suspended send details to reactivate. It's very very convincing. So beware.
Paypal warning!!!

Just a note to anybody stupid.
If any company ever asks you to send your details to re-activate or confirm your details its a scam, don't do it.

Hang about, are you trying to say there's a possibility my Nigerian uncle, who my father neglected to mention, may not actually have £500,000 to give me?

Misread the thread title at first and thought it said Papal warning - first thought, another thread about the Catholic church galloping towards being closed.

I'm surprised at how many people fall for these phishing email scams, I work for a high street bank and every week we get people coming in and saying they have fraud etc from their accounts and it's because they have completed one of these phishing scams.

As said - a dead common scam - we got one in our Email a couple of weeks back - purporting to be from our bank. Exactly same sort of line as OP 'there has been suspicious attempts to login to your bank account and login has been locked. Please login to reactivate your on-line access'
Problem is that my Mrs picked this up and didn't immediately spot it as a scam - though was surprised so mentioned it to me - but not asking me if it was a scam. I keep telling her about these scams...
She couldn't have done anything in any case as only I have the login details - she wants it that way (for kind of obvious reasons
)
I get the impression this is one of these denial things - that they can't believe that hackers and baddies could possibly be trying to get into their account as they are just little ordinary 'mes'. And so the guard is down - if ever it was actually ever truly up.
