[SBE] SBE Digest, Vol 204, Issue 1

[Fluker, Steve (CXR-Orlando)]

I don't think those phishing mails come because someone offers paypal.  I get those all the time from E-Bay and PayPal and do not have an account with either of those.  I get them from credit card companies and banks that I don't even do business with.  They just send them out in hopes that one day I'll get one with my own bank and somehow think that "this one" MUST be legit.

I've had dosenz of phishing mails based on ebay/paypal.  Many stupidly say things as Fred Ruhwidel @   or other first names,  and I know I am the only Ruhwiedel in the western Hemisphere.  Many other easily traceable phishes from Ebay and Paypal info, many disguised as "question about item # *90776847549" when I have nothing posted on Ebay.  Same group of crook sthat send you "bank security" bogus mails, and "your ebay account or Paypal account" security is in jeopardy.   Just surf the Ebay and hack the posted email addresses of people selling stuff.  "ask seller a question"  That is why I use a completely different sales name and address. Its worse than hotmail or music download sites.
