Is This Phishing? (56k=Sorry)

FYI, That's not my name. My name is steve. Also, I never get emails from email.paypal.com. Can you tell if it's really an "L" or a capital "I" or a "1" at the end for paypa_.com?

Dunno, but I had it for a while and it kinda creeps me out.

Try looking at the headers. Or forward it to [email protected], and they can tell you for sure.

If you got an email about anything from paypal:

Step 1) Delete it
Step 2) Go to Paypal.com your self.

If its important enough to spam people with, then I don't think it would be hard to find from the mainpage on paypal.

K, I forwarded it to paypal spam, so I might find out. It's kinda old, I was just curious. The source is kinda questionable and i got an IP address from it.

Check the URL of the links within it. If they look legit, you can always get Spoofstick for Firefox and see if the real domain matches the URL.

I get phony AOL e-mails all the time, and I like to click the link and fill out the phish form with bogus info., usually insulting the morons and blatently showing them I know their actual domain name.

I got the same email, as did every paypal customer. Since Newegg and paypal say on their web sites that they accept paypal, I will go out on a limb and say it's legit.

Took me 2 clicks to find this:

Took 3 clicks to find this:

Never hurts to do a little leg-work yourself. It's usually faster too.
