Good one isn't it? :)

Don't let Ollyk see this!!

He'll moan like a trooper......:D

dam good for a scam..... tried the linky

or is it a key logger??



M

Yeh, thats why i posted it because i could actually see this one catching people out.

Its not like the usual: 'Good day to you sir, My name is Charles Oyembinimineni and i am an agent acting on beha......' Yawn!

Its actually pretty slick.

Not tried the link yet, no. Dont want to either :)

hows that a scam? looks pretty genuine, i didnt click on the link when u mentioned key logger????

Someone is actually sending out similar things purported to be from ebay. So beware

The link only works on here because it's been copy pasted into here. In the original email the link text is as above, but the URL actually sends you to the scammers server (usually an IP address like: http://123.123.123.123/spoofpaypalpage) where you will be presented with a fake page in which to enter your details for him to collect.

The link is not what it seems, for example:

Click me --> http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run

It is quite s clever one.

Given away by the lack of name in the intro.......
