I've been getting several fraudulent Paypal phishing emails every day for some time now These are arriving in our business email account. We don't have a Paypal account against that email address........
Had one a couple of days ago saying that if I didn't verify the account it would be closed. "Well hooray for that!" I thought. No such luck - they keep coming.........

Because we are with HL we have to have our business PP account linked to the business email address.

Just for a minute I was fooled. Would never have clicked the link though anyway.

There is also one advising that a new address has been added to your pp account. It's supposed to be from PP Fraud and Protection dept and ask if it was not you who added the address then follow this link and update your account. Very good looking email - very convincing.
