Default Paypal E-mail Scam

Just a word of warning.
There is a Paypal Scam/Spoof e-mail doing the rounds (again!!!) It's been around for a while but it looks like it's rearing its ugly head again.

There is a slightly different one doing the rounds as well.
I got this today:

Quote:
PayPal Resolution Center: Your account is limited.
(Your case ID for this reason is PP-0064310.)

PayPal is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening the
accounts in our system. We recently reviewed your account, and we
need more information to help us provide you with secure service. Until we
can collect this information, your access to sensitive account
features will be limited. We would like to restore your access as soon as
possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

This is done for your protection only you, the recipient of this email can
take the next step in the remove limitation process.

Why is my account access limited?

June 21, 2007: We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a
third party. Because protecting the security of your account
is our primary concern, we have limited access to sensitive PayPal account
features. We understand that this may be an inconvenience but
please understand that this temporary limitation is for your protection.

(Your case ID for this reason is PP-0064310.)

How can I restore my account access?

Please scan the following documents, attach them to your email and forward
them to security@paypalfraudchecking.com

- Your credit/debit card statement or utility bill ( example: Phone Bill, Electric Bill, etc....)
- A valid photo ID (example: Passport, Drivers License, etc...)

Completing all of the checklist items will automatically restore your account
access.

Thank you for using PayPal!
The PayPal an eBay Company
Yeah right, shall I just pop my passport in the post for you ? probably be easier.
