PayPal phishing scam

Hi guys,

Just a little notice about a very convincing phishing email I got today;



PayPal protects your card against unauthorized use when shopping online.

Dear (my email address),

You've bought a top-up voucher from digicallingcards (contacts@digicallingcards.com)
It may take a few moments for this transaction to appear in your account.

If you have not authorized this charge, log in as soon as possible to cancel the payment!

https://www.paypal.com/au/webapps/mpp/home

When the payment will be canceled you will get a full refund.

PayPal Secure Payments



Now the convincing part about this email is the address it's supposedly sent from is PayPal.co.uk,

But the link in the email where it says 'log in' isn't anything close to it.

I very nearly got sucked in, be careful what you cluck on guys.
