Hey everyone, I just got an email from "Paypal" today:

PayPal would like to be paid through PayPal.

Note from merchant
PayPal is currently suffering from high money lost due to various scammers online, thats why we are requesting 10$ from every PayPal user. You will be refunded within 1 month. If you don`t accept this request your account will get limited for 1 year.

I removed the pay link, but whoa! No way paypal would be asking for money due to scammers. This is some real blackhat stuff masking your mails to look like paypal. Any way I could use the paypal button or email address to scam this guy back?
 
it's obviously a scam lol. report the guys paypal if you feel really offended.
 
does anyone knows a bank account number where i can send donation to the suffering banks? ;)
