The same stuff they're smoking over at PayPal.
Some genius decided to send out E-mails which said:
"Hello <name removed>,

It looks like you may be using an outdated browser with known security issues. 

Help keep your computer and your PayPal account protected by updating your 
browser today."

and included a link (different from what was represented).
Even magaged to fool the folks at spoof () paypal com 
11 pages of wtf? at:
https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/Fraud-phishing-and-spoof/New-scam/td-
p/273626



PayPal has been doing this for as long as I've been a member. They are terrible 
ones for sending out e-mails to teach you to type passwords into the spam.

The only thing worse than e-mail disclaimers...is people who send e-mail to
