I get UPS, USPS, FedEX and other delivery phishing attempts regularly on my computer.

Add banking account attempts (even from banks I don't have an account with).

And just this morning I got one that said my PayPal account has been suspended and offered a link to click to restore it.

I never-ever click any of those links.

If I thought the message was for real, I'd go directly to PayPal at their normal URL and log into my account.

This time of year, many people are expecting packages, to the phishing scams are going to catch someone off their guard, guaranteed, and the crooks will be very, very hard to trace because your money will be sped through a number of different bank accounts in different countries, each one being more difficult to find anything about.

Never-ever click a link in e-mail, keep your AV software up to date, and practice safe surfing.
