Another " Spoof " try

Gary DiPietroSr · Sep 24, 2006

Just got this from PayPal, Someone tried to "spoof" me, but I was ready for them. Just a heads up notice.

"Thank you for taking the time to contact us with your concerns. I am happy

to assist you further.

Thank you for reporting this email to PayPal. You received a fraudulent

email that was designed to mislead you into divulging your PayPal account

password. Emails initiated by PayPal will always address you by your first

account.

If you clicked on any link contained in the email and then typed in your

PayPal account password, your password may be compromised. Please change

I would rather enter a bogus email and password and then enter all curses or dumb sayings in all the required fields !!!!

I get something like that about once a week Got Paypal several times in the last month and I don't even have a pay account.

Same for e-bay. Even from banks I never heard of telling me someone is trying to charge on my card, or my account needs updating, etc. :blink:

I used to fill out the requests with a bunch of phoney information but that just confirms that they have reached a real e-mail address and it is then sold to the next batch of crap emailer bot .

i guess we all have the same basic idea.

i cuss at both the paypal and Ebay scammers

i start the sentence in the user name and finish it in the

password box hit enter and then do it over again.

sometimes when i have nothing to do i will do it

20 times or more just ragging on them and calling

them everything i can think of.
