[SBE] SBE Digest, Vol 204, Issue 1

Oh, I am absolutely aware of the emails that are out there.

Often times those are not the result of using PayPal, but rather basic email
harvesting attacks.  I often get PayPal phishing emails to accounts that
only exist for administrative purposes (for incoming mail only).

I guess what I'm saying is that I'm looking for more data regarding the
connection between offering PayPal as a form of payment and people getting
phishing emails.
