Hi everyone

Just thought I would mention that I only registered here about 10 minutes ago and I received the paypal spoof email so probably not anything to do with this site IMHO.

Incidentally, I receive upwards of 20 spoof paypal messages PER DAY, along with similar for all sorts of US banks and other institutions I have never heard of let alone got an account with.

Leads me to believe some script kiddie is just emailing to a whole host of randomly generated email addresses in the hope someone will be caught off guard and give them access to their accounts.... and I know a few who have !
