I'd hesitate to say someone deserves all they get if they are stupid enough to be fooled by that phishing scam, but seriously, the spelling is so off that they didn't even try! :tinysmile_grin_t:

Yeah, the speling and grammer are often a dead giveaway with these scams, Sir G - but there are many smart peeps out there who can't spot those clues so easily.

Thanks for this, my wife is forever on ebay using Paypal even though it drives me to the edge of insanity to the point i feel like tying her up and leaving her in the cellar while i'm at work, but, unfortunately, i no longer have a house with a cellar!

I have now asked her to beware any messages like this and not to open any messages until i can vet them, she spends enough without someone else spending her account balance!

I'm so gonna get in trouble when she reads this......anybody do B&B?

Re: Warning, paypal users

I receive these quite regularly, I have two email addresses and they always send it to the one not linked to ebay/paypal which is a bit of a giveaway. Paypal never send emails addressed to Dear Customer.
