Paypal Spoof reports

[StevenUnderwood]

After forwarding a recent paypal spoof email to spoof<at>paypal.com I received this new reply:

Thank you for contacting PayPal Customer Service.

Do they assume everyone who receives these messages has a paypal account? They do not seem to indicate that as possible on their email message, though there was a link on the site they directed me to.

I believe there was another organization that did the same thing within the last few months. Because of this change, I will be sending no more messages to paypal directly. IFF the email has a link to paypal will they get any notification (through spamcop) but that appears to also go to the same address (plus a couple others.

Just giving a heads up to others who do additional reporting.
