Scam alert

Looks like they are at it again. Received email today from, sevvice@paypal.com, stating my account has been

compromised. To rectify this I should go to this site, paypal.com, fill in all the blanks and everything will be cool.

Accourding to spoof@paypal.com it is not a registered or authorized URL. Just a heads up guys. Bob

    The smart move is to NOT click on any link.

    The web page you are linked to can easily download a worm on your PC which will monitor and transmit your keystrokes anywhere they want.

    Not if you have your security settings set right in your browser.

    I whipped up a script a few months ago that would randomly send those sites 10000 bogus pairs of user names and passwords. I figured that would keep them busy.
