Dark Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Yea I get these things all the time from Citibabk, to Something Mutual or whatever. You can tell they're fake if you just put your cursor over the link. I also get alot of scam e-mails about Paypal. I bid and buy from eBay quite frequently but I usually just e-mail all those suspicious Paypal messages to spoof@paypal.com for them to deal with.
