Always check the link on these types of emails, and when in doubt, go directly to the referenced website (not via the link) and check it out yourself.

Whenever you get these, forward them to:

spoof@paypal.com

They actually SEEM to give a sh1t!

:iagree:

I usually respond to these emails with:

"Hi Sweetie, Shaggy said to tell you that he misses you."

I haven't seen that one. The scary ones are the Paypal receipts that say $400 has been paid to so-and-so. It looks authentic.

Always open a new window and go to ebay.com or paypal.com. And yeah, the spoof email does work.
