I received a very real-looking email from "PayPal" telling me that my credit from (something like) "DVD World" was received and I just have to sign onto PayPal to confirm it. I never bought anything from the company that was named, and I couldn't imagine why, if I was getting a refund/credit, I would have to go to PayPal to "approve it" or whatever.

But it looked legit all the way, and PayPal's site didn't offer much in helping to determine authenticity...other than saying the email would use both my first and last name...and this one did.

I resisted clicking though, simply because the company name didn't ring a bell and I couldn't figure out why I would have been getting a credit or refund from them anyway.

I will admit, though... I was closer to clicking that than any other spam/spoof/ripoff I had ever seen.
