PayPal Phish

January 12th 2007 00:47


I have actually received this phony email, supposedly from PayPal. Since finding out that this is going around the world, I thought I'd pass the info on.

There's a new "phishing" expedition with your PayPal account as the target. I have not included a link to PayPal on purpose, because of this.

The new effort to get to your cash goes something like this:

Subject Line: Please Restore Your Account Access

your credit card has been assigned to two different accounts, this violates policy and your account has been "limited" as a result
.


DON'T DO IT! DON'T LOG IN!

Either delete the email, report it as spam, or, if you know how, try to report the link to PayPal.
If you have a concern, after signing off, then back on, go straight to PayPal and check your account, which will probably show you that it is fine.

Sigh, remember, be careful online.

Scoot Over Here :)

January 9th 2007 16:15
I came across a really cute/cool Vespa like scooter on the net. Electroscoot has a scooter that costs, it says, about fifty cents to go fifty miles. That got my attention.

The scooter runs on electricity; you plug in the battery when you get home. It is silent, clean, and looks pretty cool.

The scooter itself seems to cost about $1,500.00, so let's see, current price of gas, hmmm, it will take at least a couple of months to pay for itself.....
