Re: Paypal Phishing Again

Jason,

If you suspect a phishing attempt please forward this email to
spoof () paypal com. They will send a response letting you know if the
email is legit or not and hopefully they are taking action to shut down
the phishing site and or help with identifying mail relays. I have
forwarded them about 5+ emails so far so I hope something is being done
:) Like some others have pointed out on this list (or Bugtraq) they are
priming the pump so to speak by sending out alot of legit looking Paypal
emails so that people get used to them coming. Then they will start
sending more emails with redirected/phished links contained instead of
the real ones.  Just my "not worth much" 2 cents.
