"PayPal" Phish Won't Go Away...
These punqueazzholes are relentless...I've been getting a dozen+ of these per day, for the past week.

My Norton Anit-Spam tosses them into the spam folder, but give me a break!

Is is just me, or has the entire world become a spam spewing machine?! : "Viagra", sexy partners club, mortgages, punkazz "charities", and on and on and...
"They" must think every recepient is an idiot.

in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you did not
initiate the log ins, please visit PayPal as soon as possible to update
your account:

Changing your password is a security measure that will ensure that you
are the only person with access to the account.

Thanks for your patience as we work together to protect your account.

Sincerely,

Check the email headers to find out the mail server that sent it. It should look like this if it's from paypal:

Code:
 
Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Received: from outbound1.den.paypal.com ([216.113.188.96])
          by priv-edtnes10.telusplanet.net
          (InterMail vM.6.01.04.04 201-2131-118-104-20050224) with ESMTP
          id <20051107201930.VIUE20429.priv-edtnes...den.paypal.com>
The bolded text is the sending mail server. Obviously yours won't say paypal.com but check a few of them and see if they are from the same server. If they are then it may be worth your while to email owner of the domain and report the spam. If it says "blahblah.blah.ISP.COM" then there usually is a corresponding email address like [email protected] that you can forward the email to.

PM me if you need help.

Yep I heard ya. Since my ISP filters out spam and prettry much everything else i thought yours would do the same. I don't use Norton for anything so it was just a suggestion to set the ISP preferences to accomplish this task. I get those paypay things also but i never see them because they don't get beyond the ISP mailbox. But your welcome to rant. I do that myself sometime.

Even easier - if you follow the link they give it gets you here:
http://36-218.getthewave.com:81/conf...cmd=_login-run

Find out who runs getthewave.com and have their ISP crawl up their a..es with an investigation...
