Between the Ebay/PayPal scams and the "My husband died and I have 50 zillion dollars I want to share with you..." I could stay busy all day, if I wanted to. ;-) John Even then, I will contact them via web site. Karl > I always check to see if it has my NAME on it, not just "ebay customer" or > "PayPal guy".

I've never seen that one before. Karl > I get them all the time I use PhishGuard so that I don't accidentally go to one of the fraudulant sites. PhishGuard is a simple, free software service. http://www.phishguard.com/ Here is some info from their site. PhishGuard is a FREE service that detects and rapidly disables Internet "phishing" or "spoofing" attacks designed to steal critical financial data. Phishing attacks use fraudulent websites and emails that mimic well-known organizations in order to trick unsuspecting Internet users. A simple login or account number entry screen becomes a sophisticated trap. By assuming you are dealing with a trusted party, you can reveal financial information including credit card numbers, bank accounts, passwords, and social security numbers to the "bad guys". This type of attack is very difficult for the typical person to detect, as the scammer's emails and websites mimic the exact style and graphics of the spoofed company, and appear genuine. Sensitive financial information disclosed to scammers is used to make fraudulent financial transactions and to enable long-term identity theft. Organizations recently impersonated by phishers have included eBay, Citibank, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), PayPal, AOL, Visa, Bank One, EarthLink, Microsoft, AT&T, Yahoo, Chase, and numerous others. PhishGuard is a simple, free software service. The first person to discover a suspected phishing scam can report the offending email or URL (website address), literally in seconds. There is no need to divulge any confidential information to the scammers. Within minutes, our monitoring team has verified the scam, and added it to the ScamBaseT database. Updates to the database are rapidly distributed to every participating computer, effectively immunizing them against the newly discovered scam. The PhishGuard system utilizes the collective observations of Internet users plus a rapid server-based submission and distribution system. This unique architecture dramatically reduces the chance that any phishing scam can "slip through the cracks" and blindside an unsuspecting Internet user. Did you run your spyware program right after you loaded your phishguard program? Half the free crap they 'give' you to 'protect' you is used to spy on you... Just curious...

The Pied Piper of Hamlin Town had a brother-in-law who was a rat farmer. Modern service marketing - create the need, then service it.

[quoted text clipped - 44 lines] >> scam can "slip through the cracks" and blindside an unsuspecting Internet >> user. Yep sure did...It didn't find anything unless my two checkers are helplessly behind. And I agree, usually I stay away from free stuff also. Whenever I work on someones computer, thats some of the first things I do. When I do educational training for people, I always preach safety and ways to protect themselves while using the internet. But you got me thinking that maybe I got careless and will check again just to be sure. We all make misteaks (sic). > Did you run your spyware program right after you loaded your phishguard > program?

Ran three checkers on it and all came back good. Now as to how well it actually works, I can't say as I have always recognized the many phishing attempts and delete them. > Yep sure did...It didn't find anything unless my two checkers are > helplessly behind.

Trivia: Fishguard is where the ferry from Ireland docks in Wales. I always thought it was a silly name. Who'd ever think that they would name a town after a computer safety program that long ago?
