so? i get about 20 a day of those.
common sense should tell you not to click on any links send to you by email. be it from your bank, your phone company, paypal, ebay, whomever. you get warned about those phising emails on a daily basis, be it through television or on the net.So?
not everyone may be as unfortunate as you as to recive 20 of those a day and might quite easily make the misstake of clicking on the link if they recive such a letter for the very first time..
Thanks for the heads up Al13ns.
wow daily? i know about those scam emails, but this' the first time i receive the paypal scam...so i'll just keep it...wonder if i go there and fill-in the fake account id and password, maybe they'll just accept it.
anyway, i just share what i got...

dont answer it at all, even with fake info. never reply to them at all either.... they'll just sell your email as one that works and you'll start getting similar emails from all kinds of things like ebay, large banks, etc.
on the topic of that though, there is a website where people respond using hotmail/gmail accounts they make specifically for screwing with "Nigerian Scam" type emails lol. Fun stuff.
and I have to agree, there is no reason what so ever to be a jerk to someone, volker, who was just trying to help other people not fall for something. There are young people who visit this site who may have never heard of phishing or are just too trusting, and now maybe they learned something. As thumper from Bambi said.. if you cant say nothin' nice, don't say nothin at all.
