Herb -

I received a phishing probe about PayPal about the same time. The message stated that someone had tried to access my account and that I should go to the designated site (URL on the email) and update all of my personal information, including bank information. Like yours, the bogus email looked exactly like emails from PayPal. Very convincing.

I just deleted it.

It seems likely that some would have answered the email and would have been trapped.
