I got an email yesterday from pay-pal subject line was account verification. It was a total spoof job and not a good one at that. The basically just spoofed some links. I added the links but I don't recommend clicking on it. They aren't as the really appear in the email I added the actual link. And note the copyright on the bottom is 2002
