So this is the second time I get one of these paypal invoices sent to my email. Says I bought some used fishing rod on ebay and that I have already sent a payment, (giving the impression that someone has hacked into my paypal and using it.)
So there's a link at the bottom of the email to log in and and cancel the transaction if it was unauthorized. However, the whole thing looks like it was sent by paypal, but if you copy and paste the link it shows the real website:

Here's the one from my other email:

The link address is always different and they change it often to fool us. It takes you to a log in that doesn't belong to paypal but looks exactly like it. Don't fall for it guys, keep an eye out for this spam hacker crap. They'll use different ways to pull a fast one on us, make sure the web address always says paypal. ![[Mad]](mad.gif)

Good heads up. I haven't heard of this one. I have heard of that Nigerian email bullshit scam.

smart! when i click on security, it directly links me to the real paypal security page but the best way to see is the url, the "https://" not "http://" and the lock at the bottom right side of the page.
