That's the crappiest scam letter I've ever seen. I mean, the best-buy one was more believable, only because it actually redirected to the bestbuy site and then hijacked the session. It was pretty understable, exception to the fact that I don't buy shit from bestbuy :)

thanks for the updates

actually that one is quite believable. The paypal headers look good and when u put mouse over link shows paypal.com .. looks very good many inexperienced or even semi-experienced users would be fooled.
