Very PayPal looking email. I freak out and go to my online bank acct. and see no withdrawls. Rush to my paypal acct. and see no activity. Hrmmmmmm.... Go back to the email where I saw a paragraph with a link if I wish to dispute this charge. I click the link. Takes me to some pharmaceutical page or something.  Went back to PayPal and found the "report fraud" link and reported them. | |

When viewing the e-mail... go to tools, and find a selection to View Source.. You'll find the originating IP, and you can use onile tools to find where the IP comes from.. Usually Nigeria, or someplace in the EU.. If they are good there will be 5 - 10 IP addresses there, and you may have to check all of them to find the true source.

| Arul's IP Address Tracking Program - Track or trace any IP address and find the ISP that owns it I don't think this is the site I USUALLY use, but see how it works out for you!

| Ok, I got a new one. This one is REALLY tricky. It REALLY, REALLY looks legit. Paypal has confirmed that it is a spoof, but if I had a paypal account, I might have been fooled. I think I can get it to show here, but it's too long for one post...
