      I've seen identical scams for collecting aol info
      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.

                  Exact same scam, exactly, that I got for paypal as well. Same wording, same everything. The thing of it is, Ebay and Paypal will never send you anything that says "Dear user" or the like. They always use your real registered name in their correspondences, this statement comes right from the company itself.

                  I've reported that scam a couple of times now. The scammers always seem to continue operating for some reason though.
                  Promote Wildmatch, ImLive, Sexier.com, and more!!

                  ALWAYS THE HIGHEST PAYOUTS: Big Bux/ImLive SIGNUP ON NOW!!!

                  Put some PUSSYCA$H in your pocket.

                    That's not really that nice of a scam, Let me throw one example together right here that would steal money and compromise the password as well since I'm bored as hell

                    Dear valued PayPal Member,

                    As PayPal is growing to be the largest online bank in history, we must continue to expand by advertising on next years Superbowl.

                    Because we couldn't have done this without you, we've randomly selected 150 members to receive this E-Mail offer. The first 25 members to send $250.00 in funds to a specified paypal account will have their First and Last names featured on the commercial!

                    Please continue by accessing our secure website and verifying your login information

                    Paypal.com > Super Bowl Commercial Entry

                    Thank You!
                    Paypal Member Services



                    Sorry for the spelling errors, but yeah, people can be much more creative and attract attention better... especially because that would work with the subject line "You have been selected to appear on PayPal's Superbowl Commercial!"

                    The only thing I hate more than a scammer is uncreative scammers

                        seriously, who would actually sit there and enter their credit card, bank account #, routing #, SSN, PIN #, drivers lisence #. if you are truely that stupid, you deserve to be taken advantage of.
