    In the last 24 hours I've gotten 8 emails supposedly from eBay or PayPal, and 2 from banks I've never done business with. If I don't click here I will have my account limited, so they say. <yawn>

    At least PayPal and eBay ask you to forward them the email so they can try to do something. I do it, but I'm not holding my breath.

    But then, when your email address is approaching 15 years old you can expect it to be well abused.

    I don't even open anything anymore that is not familiar. Most goes into the Spam mail, which I delete without even looking. What does come through the inbox is offering to enlarge something. Also those like you Bill from supposedly from ebay or paypal, I have sent so many of those to their spoof mail figured they're sick of me so I just delete those also.

    I love when I get emails like that

    some of the filth that I put into the text boxes is not fit for people to read.

    and then there is the hacking attempts that I do just for fun.
