Subject: Would you trust these Emails (EBAY & PAYPAL)

I Would never trust such emails from EBAY and PAYPAL (and others)
Especially when i know that i don't requested anything at all.
And indeed, investigating the origin of the Emails are far beyond
than the ones propably used by EBAY and PAYPAL, I
am pretty sure they would not send email out via a .edu and via a
host in Shanghai.

Cheers :)
