          What's smart or original about this? Paypal phishing has existed for at least a couple of years...

                  This shit is everywhere lately.

                  Identity theft is probably the number one security risk online.

                              What we don't see here is that link probably goes to some ip address.

                                                  This message would scare off a good bit of idiots...



                                                  the best ones are the .info scams with the paypal.com.user-15350.info those look pretty close.

                                                  back in the day i feel for one of these... but to bad for those suckers cause i only had like $1.12 in the account!

                                                                      I'd rather ask now instead of getting owned in my future.

                                                                                              everything was almost perfect, but when I logged into my account I didn't see a notice requesting the same account verification (which was really extensively asked for in previous email)...

                                                                                              damm they're good...almost got me

The more people see phishing emails the more likely they are to realise that something is Not Quite Right. Of course, on the way several will still be burned.....
