Don't Fall for This ...

Only a fool would believe this phishing scam.
1. The address is in Europe.
2. Paypal never asks for your password!

If ANYONE - even if they say they are YOUR bank, asks for account numbers, passwords or any personal or financial data, delete the email! It is a hoax!

2. I have noticed that hardly anyone I ever had as a "Friend" is still over there on the old "Blog." All the political fringe people are still there. They deserve each other!

Hooray. May MyBloggers never turn "Blue."

Thanks for the tip, I'm usually the one to fall for these types of scams.

which is one of the reasons I don't use PayPal. If I can't get it with a money order, I don't mess with it.

Where exactly does one buy political fringe? Is this a new style

by the way, I've gotten this email so many times, along with the ones asking me to put their money in my bank account! Puhlease!

By the way, I just added you to my friends list here at MyBloggers.

I have become so paranoid about identity theft, that I don't even keep any of my financial records on my computer for fear of some hacker breaking and stealing delicate information. Sad situation, huh?

Geez, Eddie. You already got me with the Nigerian widow of the ex-finance minister's scam! I'm still broke.

Darn it! You just let everyone know about my little secret. Now, how am I going to make any money without the PayPal scam?
