Warning From Den
Friends,
I know we have talked about this before, but with the Christmas buying season in full bloom, I'm getting an average of 6 fake emails a day from Paypal Inpersonaters, trying to get my account info. DO NOT REPLY TO THESE.................They are just trying to get your password/ MANY USE the THREAT, " Accont is suspended," Or say your being billed for something you didnt buy. Forward them to . Paypal wil do the rest. Please be Carefull............. Den |

I get those daily. Some say "i didn't get my pc when i sent u $" and
other such things that make it look like they come from illiterate people. Sometimes they say they will contact Ebay or Pay Pal and have an account suspended... I have gotten these for sneakers, laptops, pc's, motorcyles.... I just delete everything. One time, as I wrote here, it was a real person with real feedback and a real item... so they are tricky!

Sue and all,
I just talked to paypal about this and the #1 tip they gavc me is that PAYPAL already KNOWS your name and account information. Paypal wilnot send a email without your FIRST and LAST names. If I can save anybody a nigjhtmare this is worth it. Den |

Den,
Do you know how to do a good filter? I'm using Outlook Express as an e-mail reader, and now with the new way spammers are cramming our inbox with IMAGE ads it's hard to send them to the delete folder.
