The security firm is warning of another PayPal phishing scam that trys to steal your personal information.

A fake website,designed to look like PayPal, was registered three weeks ago to someone using the name Asger Trier Bing, from Copenhagen, and the site is hosted in Denmark.

With the domain name servicecenter-us-eu.dk, F-Secure describes the scam as being “old school” in its approach.

When you visit the site you are asked to input some details, then it takes you to another webpage for some “additional security checks”, which include questions about your parents’ full names and bank card PIN.

“It is quite astonishing if anybody would be gullible enough to go through the full form and type in all the required information. Like your email password? Your father’s day of birth? Your PIN number? Then again… someone will fall for this. Someone always does,” said F-Secure’s Mikko Hypponen.

The warning comes after Yahoo introduced a scheme to help eBay and PayPal users to avoid phishing scams in its webmail service.
