I have to say I've almost been fooled by some of thos "phishing" messages. Heck if the e-mail address says such-and-such@paypal.com and they use the PayPal logo and graphics and all that, wouldn't most people think it legitimate?"

I start from the opposite end Joe.

Everything I receive by E-Mail is a scam until I've checked back and confirmed it.

I've been using E-Bay and Pay-Pal for years without trouble, by ensuring that I only deal with them if I have logged in to their sites.

All the junk goes straight in the trash can.

Going back to the subject of the thread tho', I too am bothered by the number of these crap messages I receive (5 to 10 per day), but I don't see any way to avoid them without regulating the net in a way I don't want to happen.
