My computer just alerted me to an arrest in the Paypal scam. The one where paypal users received an email and were told to go to a webpage designed to mimic Paypal's and put in their user ID and password. In reality, it was a group of people, some with ties to Russia, who then used these ID's to buy items on eBay, pay using the stolen paypal account, then reauction items, gaining cash.
Not my name on ebay.

Ah yes, paypai.com -- which looks like paypal.com when the "i" is capitalized like "I." I'm glad they got busted. Thanks for the update!
