These are two examples of email-scams you may receive from those scammers who are determined to empty your bank account. See them at the bottom of this post.
They follow your eBusiness progress and they catch any image to any eBank account on your store or any other simple website. They'll probably see an image to a PayPal account or any other credit cards there. They'll then follow these links and get manually more information.
It's completely correct that they'll not see any email address associated with your account details on your website, so they'll guess it from your business. Or they may just send like these emails to any email address they've captured from the net.
They also use the source codes of PayPal messages to clients to re-produce an alleged PayPal message and send it to you. They'll only redirect the links on this message to where they've prepared to rob you.
I'll give examples here to a PayPal main image to compare between the two and some details. In some emails I'd received even PayPal header and footer. This of course is designed to clarivy that there's no any doubt that these are PayPal's.
This is the same banner image on PayPal Home but the character(photo) on the left is not the same. The text link on the following banner has an additional word to that which is at PayPal Home, but it is not clickable because there's no link. Go and compare. You'll notice that I've recorded the IP address of this email too. The second email is at the coming post.
The very interesting thing about this email is that I don't have any PayPal account by such email or even by any of my domains. You should not operate a PayPal account using any of your normal free emails, your domain or other webmails you use for other purposes. You should have only one email for this purpose. For example this email address I am using and I am actually receiving like these spams through it, is operated exactly for only one purpose: to capture the wretched scam on the Internet and learn from it something positive.
This is the first email:

These are some other spam details. See how those viagra spam e-mails were coming from different names in the "From" fields. They're of course from one machine.
