I tell you, I'm in the wrong business. Instead of sitting around, being amazed at and mocking the world population's general lack of intelligence, I should be exploiting it for large profits.

But then I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night. Damn my intrinsic morality. I wish I was a jerk. I hear they get all the chicks, too.

I guess nice guys like us are just meant to finish last :p

Come to think of it I think I may have gotten one from PayPal a bit back. Man, that one was REALLY professional looking, if it wasn't for the general fishyness of their asking for my personal information before I even logged into the site, it might have almost even had me. :chick:

I'd call it a warning, but if you're dumb enough to fall for this, you should just send me your money instead. For safe keeping.

Do you Yahoo!?

I didn't know eBay's servers were really hosted by Yahoo! Mail. When did this happen?

I was an internet noob. I spent a few minutes trying to read what they were saying (they were speking teh 1337.)

I actually tried it once myself by posting in the main chat that I was stealing accounts that people should email me their info. if they wanted to have thier accounts taken. Sadly I didn't get a single Login/Pass.

Of course, the account was disabled back in the days of AOL 2.7, but still.

:lol:

Just got one email simular to what Burg posted, just this morning. Do you think I really should send them my cc number. They are really concerned about my credit well being. I just got to trust those honest people :lol:

I've seen that one. Anyone should know that you don't give your ATM PIN out.

That eBay hoax has some shitty grammar in it.

Remember the paypaI scam? People thought they were going to PAYPAL when they clicked that URL. I don't use Arial in my address bar. Verdana is the best choice for that IMO.

The PayPal one is much more deceiving IMO but it still has a spelling error or two.

I get tons of these, because my eBay name is still a valid email address.

If I remember correctly the PayPal one publishes your info on a web page.
