We received a very successful phishing for Paypal accounts.

Access to your account has been restricted!
Security measures by PayPal.
Dear Member We recently reviewed your account and to provide a continuous service, we would need more information about your business. As long as we can not collect this information, your access to the confidential account remains limited. We want to restore full access to your account as soon as possible. Please forgive the inconvenience.
Why access to my account is limited?
Access to your account has been restricted for the following reason:
Jan. 28, 2008: Your account may have been used by a third party. Because the security of your account is our main priority, we have limited access to some strategic features of your PayPal account. We know that this restriction may cause temporary inconvenience to you, but you should know that we are acting to ensure your safety.
(The case number for this is PP-431-474-491.)
Of course, the link leads to a server whose sole purpose is to retrieve usernames and passwords.
Be careful, scammers have learned to write well in french and to make their hooks credible enough to reel in many victims.
Update: The same scam has appeared for Chase bank accounts.
