Re: ***Caution***: Paypal Users
Just to add I got this mail too. Dated 02/01/2005 but received 07/02/2005.
It's been sitting in my inbox for ages as I just read the heading about a policy change and assumed it would only contain information to read and I'd read it later. On reading just now I got to the part about having 120 days otherwise the account would be terminated and then twigged. PayPal state they would never send emails like this. Of course the links are fake too.
Then it comes to tracing it. Simple, the email address is one specifically for this forum only and never has been used elsewhere. Well, it was actually created for the old nthellworld.co.uk forum which obviously got migrated across.

Re: ***Caution***: Paypal Users
Update: I received today a reply from seeitout.com:

Dear Sir or Madam,
Please accept my apology for delayed response. The truth is that we have been
naive not checking 'noboody's' email account thoroughly, because under this
account we get 99.99% junk email.
We also, received similar emails regarding PayPal/ EBay, and did not pay any
attention to it. I can assure you, we will conduct a full investigation, and
who ever done it, will have our serviced canceled.
I am very grateful for your email, and truly appreciate your effort. Please pass
on my apology to forum members.
Have a nice day!
R. Randjic

Re: ***Caution***: Paypal Users
Clicking on the link started a download. I removed it as there is no indication as to what it was.
