Well, I almost fell for this one. See, I really did sell the item to this person about 2-3 years ago. Guess I am suppose to be stupid and not realize that an auction payment can not be cancelled from that far back. Have not heard from PayPal yet, sure they are scratching their .... too.

The paypal link seems real. Maybe it is real (not that a cancelled money request really matters). How would a spoofer know the info from so far back? check your paypal history.

Oh, I did... now I just got a new one from a sale about 3 years ago on a piece of jewelry. Your right, how are they getting this information? PayPal is okay, ebay is okay...
I did upgrade my windos 2000 pro with XP this weekend (got a good deal)(hubby said a bid no on Vista) and bought and upgraded from Norton Systemworks to the Norton 360. Finding the Norton 360 slows your system WAY down just in case anyone is wondering how it works. Really tightens down everything you do with fraud alerts etc.. If I did not have DSL would be in a world of hurt.
