Thinking this was real, I clicked on the link (first mistake). When I got to the website, it looked exactly like paypal. My email was already pre-loaded, but my password was not. I haven't used this account in a long while, and forgot the password. I know that I entered in the incorrect one for my paypal account. Instead of an error message, it sent me to a contact form.
I started filling out all the info (name/address/mom's maiden/SSN/etc.), but got a really bad feeling so I X'd out before clicking enter. I checked with Paypal and it was a "phish" attempt.
I have since changed all my pw's / run an anti-virus scam.. any computer nerd monkeys think I need to take more action?
