Just got the following email:

Of course the link did not go to PayPal at all (don't worry I didn't click on it). I logged on to PayPal and did not see that that email address had been added. I changed my password just to be on the safe side.

THAT is truly frightening. Because it appears that our money is going to be affected, we're inclined to go to that link if we don't know any better. HORRIBLE.

What's really frightening is the number of buyers and sellers that don't read these boards and keep up to date who receive the same spoofs and fall for it. Ebay and Paypal, as do most companies, rarely publicize it when they or their customers have been victimized. I would imagine these spoofs have resulted in some staggering monetary losses.

If I don't get at least half a dozen phish emails a week, I feel left out. Since I don't take Paypal, I've considered putting Paypal on my blocked email list and spam filter. Problem is, every so often I have a winning bidder who can't read my tos or eoa and will attempt to pay me through Paypal. It doesn't happen every day, but often enough to cause a problem if I did block them. And there's no way a sane seller or buyer would block Ebay, so I guess it's just a matter of staying on toes and being vigilant.
Jack...Yer right. No way will they admit a problem. Remember some of the site crashes a few years back? They described them as sporadic latency issues that only affected a small number of users for a few minutes.

I received a spoof from American Express. The problem is I do not have an American Express card. It's gone beyond Pay Pal and Ebay.
I received one from a bank I do not bank at.
Some of my parents elderly friends have fallen for spoof emails. I am going home for a visit and I plan on educating everyone of my friends and relatives about spoof emails.
