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..

Hi All,
I've heard that Spammers can even tell if you open the E-mail?
I never open Any emails from Any of My Accounts.
I always go to my account at the Web Site.
And Even Then.....
My BIL ( & it couldn't happen to a nicer guy :o)
Had his ID taken.
He Immediately called &
Even went down to his credit union
to get a new credit card.
Yup you guess it, It was Used Four Times
before he returned home & checked his site account.
best,
JC...
