Angry One more attempted fraud to watch for!

Yesterday I received an email from Paypal.com with this subject YOUR PAYPAL.COM ACCOUNT EXPIRES in five days. I deal with PayPal all the time so I clicked on it but when I read the message "see below" I realize what they try to do, I know at PayPal they have a policy they never ask you for personal information with emails, when I checked the headers under sender the email address is not paypals but yahoo.com
Sender: 8d9i303c@yahoo.com



Dear PayPal member,

PayPal would like to inform you about some important information
regarding your PayPal account. This account, which is associated with
this email address will be expiring within five business days. We
apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause, but this is
occurring because all of our customers are required to update their
account settings with their personal information.

We are taking these actions because we are implementing a new security
policy on our website to insure everyone's absolute privacy. To avoid
any interruption in PayPal services then you will need to run the
application that we have sent with this email (see attachment) and
follow the instructions. Please do not send your personal information
through email, as it will not be as secure.

IMPORTANT! If you do not update your information with our secure
application within the next five business days then we will be forced to
deactivate your account and you will not be able to use your PayPal
account any longer. It is strongly recommended that you take a few
minutes out of your busy day and complete this now.

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE VIA EMAIL! This mail is sent by an
automated message system and the reply will not be received.

Thank you for using PayPal.
