New Ebay / Paypal scam

Hi all I have recently recieved an email telling me to updtae my credit card details in Paypal.  The email itself looked legit but the e-mail address looked iffy, but my Visa card was actually due to expire.  Rather than trust the emails link I logged on to Paypal and manually updated my card.  No problems.  I forwarded the email to spoof@paypal.com which is their investigation team.  My hunch was right its a scam.  I have since recieved several more requests from Paypal Ebay and other online service providers, all bogus.  So heads and update if you need to by logging into the site directly not via the email link
