Email header of the week

Attention! Your PayPal account has been violated!

I wonder if it can handle the shame

It was asking for it, if you ask me.

I've forwarded a dozen or so of these messages to spoof@ebay.com---and apparently every one of them was a phishing attempt.

I'd love to get my hands on the jassacks who do this sort of thing. Just five hot minutes, with my fingers around their throats, that's all I'm asking.

I get this about 3 times a week. I'm used to it now.

I always forward these to PayPal or eBay. They always thank me, but never offer monetary rewards. Doesn't seem fair.

I envision the paypal server as one big maximum security prison, with all of our weak little accounts being violated by unauthorized users every day.

I've told mine to start fights in the cafeteria to get put into solitary.
