I got a similar email from Paypal, or at least someone claiming to be Paypal.

I don't even HAVE a f*cking Paypal account!

Re: Another scam *Bay email


As far as I'm concerned, if someone is dumb enough to fall for any of these scams, they deserve what they get. I just thought it was funny, how someone tried to scam with by using Paypal, when I don't use it to begin with. Morons...
