Another Round Of Phishing Email On PayPal Users

It has been reported that there is a new trend in PayPal security threat with phishing emails sent out asking people to click on a link in the email to activate something called "Security Token Key" that is required now that PayPal purportedly added an extra layer of protection to its servers.

PayPal users are tricked into clicking the link that redirects to a phoney PayPal website that looks like the real PayPal website

For people who leaves the fake PayPal website, they will be threatened that PayPal will stop refunding the illegal transfer of money from their PayPal account. Thinking that their funds are at stake, I believe there would be quite a number of people who would proceed with the authentication.
