    Probably old news... but PAYPAL SCAM!

    I just got this with a nice little .exe file attached to it....

    From: "PayPal.com" <[email protected]>
    SUBJECT: Problems with your PayPal account.

    Dear PayPal member,

    We regret to inform you that your account is about to be expired
    in next five business days. To avoid suspension of your account
    you have to reactivate it by providing us with your personal
    information.

    To update your personal profile and continue using PayPal services
    you have to run the attached application to this email. Just run it
    and follow the instructions.

    IMPORTANT! If you ignore this alert, your account will be suspended
    in next five business days and you will not be able to use PayPal
    anymore.

    Thank you for using PayPal.

    What a fucking scam... I bet so many fucking people fall for this shit. I forwarded it to [email protected]
    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                      it's called the reply button. Don't bother if you aren't interested.

                                          Kidding? No.... I know a paypal email when I see one, this one has the paypal logo on it, and anyway, all I had to do was enter my credit card details, click send, and my account's ok.. I don't see what all the fuss is about..
