Heads up, new PayPal spoof...
Just a quick heads up to everyone out there who uses PayPal. There's
a new spoof going
around that almost caught me this morning. The email they sent out
(reprinted below) directed me
to a PayPal login page that had a non-PayPal URL. The reason it almost
got past my bullshit

is concerned about
someone hacking into my account. I opened up a new window for PayPal and
it looked identical
(except it wasn't secure and had a different URL. To wit...

Of course if you get this email, send it on to Spoof at PayPal dot
com.
Back to our regularly scheduled program kiddies...
