WATCH OUT Paypal scams are back!!!
I have been scamed by the paypal phishers back in Nov 05. I learned from my bank after they drained my acct & my bank notified me of the purchased made in another country,that the purchases were made in Spain,but werid thing is the web site was from Tawian!!

I learned my lesson in not trusting all e-mails recieved from paypal. In fact I have been recieving this month consent(3 days straight until I kept sending the fake e-mails to paypal's spoof department) e-mails from the fake paypal site. The way you can spot the fake from the real site; not matter how close it is, is this: look at the URL in adress bar. If it doesn't say "www.paypal.com" and or it says that but has other letters or domains attached to it on the adress bar, then it's fake! BE CAREFUL people they are still trying to scam!!!!
