I don't want to jack the thread, but you said that you put the cursor over the link and the address showed at the bottom, my IE used to do that, but the bar at the bottom disappeared. How do I get it back. Like I said, I don't mean to jack the thread, but it isn't worth the new one

yeah paypal will pretty much never email you unless its a receipt.

even then its best to log in directly from the website.

usually the hyperlinks in those emails go to some bogus site, if you put your mouse over them and look at the hyperlink properties. i get fake paypal and fake ebay mails like once or twice a month. forward them to spoof@paypal.com and for ebay spoofs fwd them to spoof@ebay.com

I have been getting those for about a year. It is a great idea for a scam though, most people are very trusting.

I have gmail, it's the best I've used so far for weeding out the bullshit and letting in all the good stuff that I need to read.

Highly reccomend it. If anybody wants an invitation to it PM me, I have like 49 invites left.
