I just look for names I recognize, if not, they all are deleted (I have seen as many as one hundred per week). I don't even open them so I am not even aware of the contents of the email. If I sign up at a website I provide them with a webmail address, not my normal email address. I use the same attitude with my normal email address, if I do not recognize the sender, I don't open the email, it gets trashed. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3354#post-30755 Sun, 25 May 2008 13:16:39 +0000 copmom 30755@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I'm forever getting PayPal pfishing emails too, as well as several banks (some of which I don't even have a credit card from). I've got the <a href="mailto:spoof@paypal.com">spoof@paypal.com</a> saved in my address book permanently. Some of them won't even go to them because my email acct. won't send them since they show up as spam! But that's also why I'm using a little email program called spam fighter. You should see all the junk that goes in there!<br /> EDIT------------<br /> Just now got one from PayPal saying 'update your email address'.. and it doesn't even really show the email.. it just shows their html codes! When PayPal sends out a legitimate email it will have your name on it but I never go there by clicking on any email links... </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3354#post-30598 Sat, 24 May 2008 12:12:28 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 30598@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>That's probably because you're so security minded. My kids have compromised all my computers over the last few years. I've just formatted all the drives on my main computer and have decided to ban the kids from it as i was fed up of trying to remove root kit malware etc. I don't know how the PayPal scams have come about, but I do use PayPal a lot. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3354#post-30575 Sat, 24 May 2008 08:01:23 +0000 creamypretzel 30575@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>That's interesting. I've had PayPal for well over a year and never had a single scam e-mail. I feel left out. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3354#post-30571 Sat, 24 May 2008 07:47:01 +0000 Whiterabbit-uk 30571@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks Creamy,</p> <p>I regularily get Phishing scams from Paypal wannabees and also a cuple of banks, but I always send them on to the appropriate 'authorities' Paypal have their own address for dealing with such scams:</p> <p><a href="mailto:spoof@paypal.com">spoof@paypal.com</a> </p> <p>I send all Emails I get from Paypal (apart from those I'm expecting after making a purchase) to this address and so far every one of them has been a scam. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/3354#post-30565 Sat, 24 May 2008 06:34:33 +0000 creamypretzel 30565@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Thanks, Bubby.
