Burned by PayPal spoof

[gumpokc]

Agreed Rocky, also Indy, nevr _EVER_ go to a link inside any email you suspect as bogus.

as a matter of fact, even if you think it is legit, always go to the site in question manually, IE go to paypal.com, then login etc, never _EVER_ use a shortcut link.

The reason being is that many of the scammers/spammers, are also distributing viri, trojans and rootkits.

By even simply going to the page in their spoofmail you put yourself at risk for java/active-x applications installing things without your knowledge.

Yes i know there are ways to protect yourself to "some" extant against those, but, the best prevention is not to expose yourself in the first place.
