More PayPal Spam: The Smug Dude is the Tipoff


What's wrong with this picture? The photo of the guy just doesn't quite look corporate enough. A smug teen hacker, perhaps, or his friend? And...as always, people...mouseover, mouseover, mouseover! Go to the link and look at the url that comes up when you mouse over it. If it looks weird, freaky, or anything other than paypal.com, ignore it. In fact, I'd say even if it looks like paypal.com, go to paypal via your browser, not an email message!
