Re: so paypal has an ignorebot now?

[<Blanchard_Michael () emc com>]

What's wrong with this:

"If you have received a suspicious email, we are requesting that you 
forward a copy of the email to us at spoof () paypal com." 

 Isnt' that what you're doing?  That's what they're asking, just don't send to fraud () payapl com send to spoof () 
paypal com instead :-)

Subject: [funsec] so paypal has an ignorebot now?

listen up guys. when i get a fraudulant paypal e-mail i try, as a favour
to the owner of the brand, to put it where your security team can see it.
i could simply delete it. (i also blackhole the source, but that's not
related.) 

let me say that again: i'm doing you a favour.

i will not stop my e-mail work flow to use a web browser and cut/paste.
that'll never happen. i get too much e-mail, and too much spam, to make
that possible. the imposition you'd be asking is way more than the good
will i've got on hand.

based on the reply below, i do not believe that paypal thinks that i am
doing them a favour, and so, i will stop reporting the brand-fraud that
hits my inbox.

nice going guys. now you're right up there with google.
