THE CLICKABLE LINK!!! Dummies....
This is the text from the last two (yes two) spoof Paypal emails...I guess they realized that the clickable link didn't show and they tried again! Kind of hard to rip anyone's money off when they are too stupid to put a link to the spoof website...

Dear eBay user,
As stated in the User Agreement, Section 41.1, we may send you this email.
After the multiple frauds registered lately, our company has initiated a study regarding this problem. In this study the company has reached the conclusion that most of the frauds were possible because of the low email service security level .
For a best deployment of our further activities (the frauds prevention) our company has decided to test for free the security of the email services that you (our users) use.
Hoping you have understood that we are doing all these for your own safety and for the good deployment of the relations between our company and its parteners we suggest you to acces the following form to test your e-mail:
