Be Bold about YOUR Business!

FYI -- convincing spam

I noted some pretty convincing spam this morning -- one suggesting that a new email address on your Paypal account has been added and one suggesting your LinkedIn account has been restricted due to failed logons or inactivity.

The Paypal message

You successfully added a new email address to your PayPal account.

If you did not authorized this change, please click here and complete the form.

Sincerely,
PayPal

The LinkedIn Message

For security reasons, your LinkedIn account has been blocked due to inactivity or because of too many failed login attempts.
Please click here to renew your account.

Thank you for using LinkedIn!

The links do not point to Paypal or LinkedIn and are without doubt malicious. Again, FYI.
