i just recieved another email from "paypal"..    these scam emails are
realistic, this particular one actually used my full name...   i forwarded it to
spoof@paypal.com, they do nothing about it...just send a form automated letter
reply..saying its a spoof...who know is anyone actually there looked at it or
not.    the tricky thing is that it looks so real, there is no way to tell if
its real or fake..copy and pasting the link provided sent me to a official
looking "paypal" page with official looking paypal graphics..where they were
requesting my password, etc...   even the links on the page took you to actual
paypal links..  it was so well done that its hard to distinguish real from fake..
this is another reason i dont use paypal..
