I received another email just this very moment, this time it is from PayPal. I have posted months ago about the yahoo scam in which one of my friend's account was hacked.This time it's different and it's more scary because it deals with financial matters.

I am pretty much sure that this is a SCAM since first and foremost, PayPal won't just used a "user" but instead your name and surname will be used to address the letter. Another thing is, PayPal will be using their logo as well. Therefore, it is really a SCAM so beware guys or else you might be one of their victims.
