Sick and tired of phoney ebay and Paypal emails

It seems to have gotten worse in the past few months. I must get at least 1 a day telling me I have won something that I have never bid on or my Paypal acct has been frozen or compromised. I never respond to any of these and immediately send them to ebay or Paypal then delete them. I closely monitor my accts and always go directly to ebay or Paypal to check on any and all trancactions.

What a pain in the butt this is getting to be. image

    Drop the dime on them playa. Report/forward the spam to:

    - spoof@paypal.com
    - www.spamcop.net
    - spam@uce.gov

    Enough of that will pimp slap that spam.

    Pimp On....
    Nothing smoother than listening to Bob James and sipping on a glass of vintage Courvoisier! It's PIMPnificent!

    Sure, they're a pain, but look on the brightside: Some guy from Nigeria is going to make me a millionaire in the next couple weeks!

    Looking for Jonny Gomes cards, especially Triple Threads and printing plates. Will consider all cards, though. Got something? Contact me at c_u_l_1@yahoo.com

    I agree, they have been getting worse in the past few months. I seem to receive at least 1 or 2 a week. I agree with pandrews as well, some of them are really good...but it is usually easy to spot a fake.

    If you're ever bored, just input some crazy info to those phishing emails. Most of the time, they just go thru and what's sad is; these morons who sent it will perk up when they see that they hooked someone only to find out that the Ebay ID they snagged is from
