Phishing
There's a phishing scam going around now targeting PayPal customers. I got it on my IraqNow account, so it may specifically target bloggers.
Phishing is an Internet scam in which a criminal sends out an email purporting to be from a legit company, and providing a link to a sham website. The target of the scam is urged to provide confidential information, such as user names and passwords, credit card numbers, etc., in order to prevent an interruption of service. The criminal then uses this information to commit identity theft and raid your bank account.
This particular scam is quite obviously a fake if you know what to look for, but it's one of the better fakes I've seen. Heads-up.
You can help combat this fraud by reporting phishing attempts to the AntiPhishing Working Group, at www.antiphishing.org.
There's all kinds of interesting information on their site.

This is not just targeting bloggers. I got some Paypal phishing emails last year as did my wife who doesn't even have a Paypal account. I've received about 10-15 phishing emails purporting to be from Ebay in the past two months too.
