    Hi,

    I just got an email from paypal (verify@initl.paypal.com)saying an attempt was made to access my account from a foreign ip recently and it gave me a link to verify my account,

    http://djek.toya.net.pl/https/www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/login.html

    is this ovbiously and attempt to get me to input my credit card details as the toya.net part is weird,

    or does this actually seem legit, i think not but maybe i'm wrong and i should verify my account.

    It's on Paypal's site that they will NEVER email you to verify your account. Obviously this is not legit and I wouldn't go inputting card details anywhere!

    They'll get back to you (usually in a few hours) and tell you to delete the email. If ever in doubt about an email, ignore it and login to your Paypal account. If there's an important message it will be clear and visible in there.
