Gotta be some loser at the other end of this email I got today.
We recently have determined that different computers have logged into your PayPal account, and multiple password failures were present before the login. One of our Customer Service employees has already tryed to telephonically reach you. As our employee did not manage to reach you, this email has been sent to your notice.
Therefore your account has been temporary suspended. We need you to confirm your identity in order to regain full privileges of your account.
If this is not completed by September 24, 2005, we reserve the right to terminate all privileges of your account indefinitly, as it may have been used for fraudulent purposes. We thank you for your cooperation in this manner.
To confirm your identity please follow the link below:

that is the standard identity theft email spam/scam......ignore it. Go to paypal through your own address bar and you will see that all is well with your account. I used to sell a lot of gear on ebay and would end up getting like 5 of those emails a week.

Yeah, it was pretty obvious with the mispelled words, etc.
How the hell do they work it?

I get probably one of those a week....and they SOUND legit. But I always just login into my account and see what's up. I could see people just getting started falling for that one though....
