There was a thread here a while ago that I can't seem to find. It referred to a phish email that included your name.
AuctionBytes had this information:
"PayPal Security Flaw Makes eBay and PayPal Users Vulnerable to Phishers By Ina Steiner AuctionBytes.com March 24, 2006
A flaw on PayPal's website could help scammers who send out "phishing"
emails by allowing them to determine a PayPal member's full name and include it in hoax emails, giving them an air of legitimacy.
AuctionBytes discovered the URL with the vulnerability on Friday evening when it was sent in by an anonymous user. Adding a PayPal member's email address to the end of that specific PayPal URL causes a box to appear with that member's full name.
