WARNING: FAKE PAYPAL

[zianuray]

just got another "phish" from someone claiming to be paypal -- forwarded it to spoof@paypal.com immediately.

A rollover of the imbedded link says it goes to some "astronomy" site......NO I didn't click!  How silly do you think I am?  (Don't answer that....)

I always check the paypal sight if I can't check the rollover address on those.

Gotta love phishers. I mean, really, not only is it grammatically incorrect in several places, but it doesn't even hide the fact that the link goes somewhere other than paypal. Wow. *holds up a sign that reads 4.6*

I really think that score's a bit generous...I'll allow a 3.4

If you think that's funny...

I don't get these messages often on the screenname where I do have a paypal account, but constantly get them on my other screen name.
