Subject: Posible PayPall Scam?   FW: Your PayPal	account
 is Limited.

Yeah. Have not seen any sort of announcements on this list on this in
past month. Is it as 'on topic' as the social engineering comments? ;) 

safeharbour@...y.com; abuse@...pal.com; fraud@...pal.com are recipients
that will normally get an auto 'we are investigating' response.

It is one of MANY scam html page emails coming out of paypal and ebay.
Just a little poorer in execution than most. Normally the final url in a
post form is a compromised webserver in the US. 
Note: It would be very nice for some of the hats (I am merely a cap by
comparison) here to investigate the owned servers and provide some sort
of analysis of tools used and amount of fish caught.

Thanks
