Subject: [Leica] Phishing warning - Paypal

Hello all,
There seems to be a spate of phishing attempts using a very well faked e-mail
purporting to be from Paypal support.

This is Paypal's policy :

PayPal and its representatives will NEVER ask you to reveal your
password. There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy. If anyone claiming to
work for PayPal asks for your password under any circumstances, by email
or by phone, please refuse and immediately contact us via webform at
https://www.paypal.com/wf/f=sa_pass.

Also, Paypal ALWAYS addresses their text to your profile name, NEVER Dear 
Member
or Dear Paypal Member
Hope this helps to prevent anyone being fooled.
Douglas
