Advocacy: paypal scam

2004-01-15 21:25:13
I received a paypal phishing scam message, offering me a cash bonus of 10% of my current balance (!) if I would "register" myself "with their application" (paypal.zip)

I decided to write to spoof(_at_)paypal(_dot_)com to report the obvious forgery, and also to let them know about SPF in the process...


I received the following spoof (probably a virus).

PAYPAL SECURITY: Please check out SPF as an additional way to blocked
forged messages.  SPF is not a product - it is a TXT record that you
publish in your DNS to authorize mails from certain servers and block
other unauthorized mail.  Please view http://spf.pobox.com/

Thanks
