Story: PayPal users targeted by email scam
Posted by: Anonymous (Wednesday 22 October 2003, 7:46 PM)
I've already gotten such scam messages from "Pay Pal" and "Ebay" a few times. What I've done is to put in bogus info into the required fields and "0's" in the number fields and send it back. Also, I've given them comments such as "who do you think you're fooling" simply out of desperation, hoping they'll stop sending me the e-mails. I know there will always be someone out there who is a crook, but as long as you keep alerting the public, maybe these sites will eventually dry up! Thanks, anyway. P.S. They REALLY are realistic looking sites, especially the "Ebay" one.
