Beware phony Paypal email!

For those of you who use Paypal, I got this email that directs you to a phony Paypal login site:

Yesterday, I got one just like it, worded the exactly same way, but with"Sunland Bank" instead of "Paypal."

yeah.. I've gotten two or three of those. From "Paypal" and "Citibank." I don't even have a Citibank account..

Hi
I don't even have Paypal and keep geting emails from them:

You have added phoneseller@yahoo.com as a new email address for your
PayPal account.

If you did not authorize this change or if you need assistance with
your account, please contact PayPal customer service at:

PROTECT YOUR PASSWORD

NEVER give your password to anyone and ONLY log in at

by opening a new web browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape) and typing
in the PayPal URL every time you log in to your account.
