Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Is It Just Me?

Doc the paypal scams are a virus that replicates itself from infected 
computers. There are others like Washington Mutual and Ebay/Your Account 
Needs Updating! also. Many of those are scams wanting you to click on a link 
to "update" your information, whereas many seem official with logos and all, 
the links are from places like Romania, Russia, Bulgaria, Germany and 
England.

What I like to do is highlight the offending email, then 'right click' your 
mouse on it, then click on 'properties' then 'details' and it will show you 
most times where the email came from. And then you can forward the whole 
mess to THEIR server with abuse@xxxxxxxxxxx or abuse@xxxxxxxxxxx and they 
terminate that account for violation of terms, and also shut down the 
assholes (can I say that here?) account that they may, or may not, know is 
sending out the paypal viruses. Most know as they are trying to collect 
info. ID theft you know, big business.

Here is a example of a right click/properties/details of a scam email for 
instance:

========================
That shows the paypal scam email came from it which is Italy. So you see 
where it came from, in this case lory.x@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
and forward the whole thing to abuse@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and most servers will 
take care of it, some it bounces, but a majority of them don't come back and 
accounts are deleted, possibly saving some poor soul the sitgma of being 
foolish enough to fall for it. Good luck,
