    I just looked in my outlook inbox today and noticed a strange e-mail that was sent five days ago. I will try to get a image of it put up later.

    Content of e-mail:

    ||| We detected something unusual about a recent sign-in to your account To help keep you safe, we required an extra security challenge.

    Date and Time : 15 June 2015, 3:49

    Browser : Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_9_3) AppleWebKit/537.75.14 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/7.0.3 Safari/7046A194A

    Operation System : Mac OS X 10.9.3

    We need you to verify your identity for further use of your account. |||

    ||| 'Verify Now' button |||

    This is the senders e-mail address : noeplay[@]noeplayhelpps.onmicrosoft.com

    I have never logged on any Mac computer/laptop, nor own any. I have also sent this to PayPal and awaiting a reply.

    Well obviously its a scam, paypal never include a verify your ID type link.

    If in doubt just go to paypal and check your account settings, notifications
