My provider will hunt them down, and yours probably will too. We need to fight back, and this is the way. I forgot to mention to send the message “source” (from Properties) to you ISP.

I did, however, forward it to PayPal so they could do something about it. I listen and heed warnings from guru’s like yourself and was not taken in by the PayPal phishing expedition.

I can not add anything different from what has already been said. Just this week, one of those came to my inbox. There seems to be a pattern here.

Every day I am offered payments of $3M to $50M from various entities. 10 to 20 spam or phishing mails are delivered to me every day. Sometimes it pays to delete all of them unless you know the sender. I have a Yahoo email account.

Plus it allows you to report those you find yourself, too. I've been quite happy with it so far ... and it works okay with Vista Home Premium!!! (Dig, dig, Mr Microsoft.) BTW, for phishers posing as from eBay or Paypal, just forward them as they are, with no comment required, to: spoof@ebay.com and spoof@paypal.com They then acknowledge receipt of the email and follow up to confirm if the contact was a phishing expedition.
