Life was better before the internet

THIS is what you should have done in the first place instead of coming at me.

I was NOT intentionally ' coming at you ' ...

I responded to your choice of language about having a heart attack ... If you REALLY has this reaction, maybe you need a refresher
I had some Indian **** Munch damn near get me in a Phone call in January ... He had just enough information - probably from the OPM Hack - if h had not been so insistent to transfer the call to some Gov Agency about my compromised SSN .... I would have been had

I'm sure in your position you get 100's a week ... you should be used to this by now ...
I get them ... poof right in the circular file ... any suspicious or really good ones , I go right to paypal ...

I would think you would do the same with as many as you get ....

So these are generic emails, not emails from PayPal, correct?

Yep - but they're pretty good fakes.

Because this one was real, Gurps. It wasn't "Oh this credit card you don't own needs attention," or "Here's a payment for a service you never heard of," or "this account you do have has been hacked but we spelled everything wrong and here's a link to a tinyurl to fix it..." It was a real notification that my account had been compromised.

What, you think I get a heart attack over every piece of spam?

You know what, Gurps? Shut the **** up. Do you think I'm ****ing stupid? I know how to avoid spoofing and take care of a hacking attempt, I just ****ing did it and posted about it. I know to check links to make sure they go where they say they'll go, and how to go directly to my account instead of clicking through. I get a thousand spam emails a day and this is the first time in probably 10 years I've had a problem.

AND if you would ****ing READ before you run off at the fingers, I asked the woman at PP if the number in the email was correct and she said it was. No idea why a different company came up.

Get a ****ing job and stop basing your self-worth on belittling your betters.

Had you posted that information as a PSA I'd have given you a like. But no, you did it in an attempt to try and make me out some dumbass and you're the all-knowing wisdom imparter. **** you.
