Official Safe House of the Short Attention Span

PayPal Phishing

no comment

Ever get email from PayPal requesting an action on your part? Don’t click the link(s) within. Just forward the email, as an attachment, to:
spoof@paypal.com or spoof@paypal.co.uk
Paypal will respond to let you know if it was legitimate.

The same goes for questionable eBay email:
spoof@ebay.com

For “phishy” email sent in the name of other companies, sites, financial institutions, etc. (along with the above), I will normally forward to:
reportphishing@antiphishing.org or phishing-report@us-cert.gov

Does any of this do any good? Hell, I don’t know, but it sure feels good doing it.
