Well, I am sure many of you would not fall prey to this, but others could be warned, especially those who sell things on the Internet and are paid with paypal.
So, I got this email from Paypal (or so it seemed) telling me that "Matthew Elridge" (probably a false name, and spam-sounding by the way) gave me 93.50 US$ on my paypal account. My first thought was that "Matthew Elridge" had mistakenly send me money for something he bought to someone else. Because the email sent, the URL to access the transaction, etc. were all extremely convincing (they really look like they were sent by Paypal). But in truth this is nigh impossible as I don't sell anything on the Internet, and never used payal after having been inscribed several years ago. So it's much more like another thief's attempt at getting my password and what not. But this one looked very clever. If you are indeed selling things on the Internet (like rpg PDF products, or things on ebay, for example) you may very well fall prey to it. So beware...
