I've been getting an increase in phishing emails from fake banks and for PayPal recently as well. Some tips from getting a ton of these: Always roll over links before you click to check, if the URL isn't from the domain then it's a phish. Also - I noticed they're saying your account 9450-XXX-XXX-XXXX is suspended. Banks give you the last 4 digets, not the 1st 4. OH yeah and if you have never heard of the bank before and they're telling you your account is suspended/needs updating... it's a phish. I hate phishy mail.
