Phishing Email Scam - "Paypal Confirm Your New Email Address"
The "Paypal Confirm Your New Email Address" e-mail message below which appears as if it came from PayPal, asking recipients to confirm their new email address, is a phishing e-mail scam. The e-mail message was not sent by Paypal (paypal.com) and the link in it does not go to Paypal's website at www.paypal.com. Instead, the link goes to a malicious website set up by cyber-criminals to steal their victims' Paypal usernames and passwords.

The "Log in" link in the e-mail message goes to this malicious website: omg.enelbrasero.com, instead of paypal.com. Please do not click on any of the links in the e-mail message. Remember, never click on a link to sign into your PayPal account. Always go directly to www.paypal.com to sign into your account from there instead.
