I didn't use the link. I used my own link and logged in, doesn't seem like there's anything wrong. So I deleted the E-mail. Stupid scammers.

I get about 20 of these a day. Of course, the link URL that you read is not the actual URL of the link, which usually takes you to some server in Korea, China, or some other place.

Personally, I wish whoever whacked that spammer in Russia not long ago would start going after these phishers.

Forward it to : spoof@paypal.com

I report every one I get.

If they don't address you by your name within the first line, then it is a scam. That's how I always tell.

I can tell because they are sending them to every email address I have. Except for the one I use for Paypal. :eek:

haha, that works, too. They'll sometimes send me five in one week and then I won't get one for two months. I haven't gotten any in a while, so I guess im overdue for some spam. :rolleyes:

My sister got an eBay one recently even though she doesn't even have an account! :D

Imagine that...and here I thought all along that they had actually hacked into eBay and found a list of active members and their e-mail addresses. :rolleyes:

It's so weird because I always hear of people getting them, and I get tons of spam but I'v never gotten one. Why doesn't anyone want to spam me :(

[killuminati]

Double post, sorry.

This is actually the first one I got. But I've probably gotten millions, but most likely ended up in my SPAM folder (yahoo mail). I think it works pretty good, thanks yahoo. Once in a while som get through.

My mom got one about a month ago, she was ready to give the info. until last minute I was like "NOOOOOOO" in slow motion too!

[Duff-Man]

Duff-Man says....I got one a couple days ago - first time in a few months and like others, it was of course not sent to my Paypal address. I *always* report them to not only spoof@paypal.com but I also run them through SpamCop and report to ISP's as well....oh yeah!
