Hallo Alerta,

If this is a scam, then maybe paypal has some employees
passing new account info outside the company.

Indeed, Paypal e-mail scams started in 2002 I think.

In regards to employees passing new acct info, I have never had a paypal
account and have received several times this type of scam mail.

I would suggest you to contact Paypal and send them a full copy of the email
(as an attachment, not just re-send the e-mail, since it would drop some
headers).

I think he can make an whois question to the given ip and look if this
is an official paypal host.
regards nico
