I opened my emails tonight to find one from Paypal advising me that I had authorised a payment of $480 to someone in NSW. The email conveniently included a link to a site if the transaction was an error. Dumb me clicked the link and entered logon details and was halfway through filling in the personal details when the penny dropped. I closed the page and changed my password on paypal immediately.
The principle is simple, get someone fired up about a transaction they know nothing about and 'help' them by providing a link. I have been around long enough to know better, but it hooked me, hopefully not long enough to do any damage.
