PayPal phone phishers

The Register

John Leyden writes:

"Hi-tech fraudsters are attempting to trick PayPal users into calling a phone number and giving over sensitive credit card account information.

The tactic follows the same patterns as a recently detected "phone phishing" attack targeting customers of the Santa Barbara Bank & Trust. The attack on PayPal shows that the approach is going mainstream".
