well hey - I'm already verified. Spoof at PayPal said yep - it's a phishing email.

Love the 2cnd (3rd?) line in the email! Sending Lim it?

Here's what it looks like:

well gee, can you imagine that....the CLICK HERE LINK doesn't go to PayPal.

Tracking link: http://0xcf.0xe2.0xa1.0x16/index.htm?cmd=_login-run

ip:0xcf.0xe2.0xa1.0x16 = 207.226.161.22
Resolves to 207.226.161.22

Routing details for 207.226.161.22
Cached whois for 207.226.161.22 : [email protected]


I wonder if they actually meant "spending limit" instead of "sending limit"? I can't imagine anyone having a sending money limit.

Legitimate PayPal e-mails will say,

"Dear John Hayward" if, of course, your
name is John Hayward.

Or, "Dear Susan Patterson," if your name
is Susan Patterson.

In other words, bonafide PayPal messages
will say Dear (your first name) followed
by your last name.

Hi all...

Every once in a while, when I don't have anything better to do (like cleaning my messy house...) I Google the address, in this case, [email protected].

Good for a grin or two. Okay, so I'm easily amused.

If I'm REALLY bored, I report it to abuse @ their ISP. One I got originated from a major midwestern university. Too bad you can't find out if the person got booted...

Lucy! I just mentioned your name two minutes ago in another thread here ("Help. . . ". I said you'd shown us your photo setup in your "office" and I liked it. How've you been? We have extreme cold here in the mountains, 30s, but sunny, and very strong Santa Ana winds. It's been a very windy January, dang it. Funny to see Malibu getting snow and we have clear sunshine!
