From an email I received today. The way this works is as soon as you would enter your username and passcode. Somebody probaly on the other side of the world transfers all your money out. Its a feedback form designed to look like PAYPAL. Always watch your upper browser window. I did not fall for it, make sure you don`t either. Once you do plug in a fake user name and code it takes you to another page where they want more information. Keeps on going till your funds are bone dry. WARNING THIS SITE BELOW IS NOT PAYPAL DO NOT ENTER ANY REAL INFORMATIONFake Paypal Sitewww.fawqo.de/~tmittler666/paypal/webscr/cmd/login_submit/index.htmlWARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

I see stuff like this all the time....I've always wondered how well it worked for the people that do it. I guess if just one person falls for it then it makes it worth their while. Still it seems like an awful lot of work for not much return.

Takes about 5 minutes to place the code for the site on random servers. Its not the one person that falls for it, hundreds maybe thousands. You have to estimate they are sending millions upon millions of emails.

Just received one of those e-mails yesterday....very interesting in how real they look except the fact they don't address you by name or business name and the address bar is incorrect. Nasty people..now if they only took the time, energy and money it took to do that and focused it on a legit business or for something good, like a charity, they might be happier in life.
