That's not even close to being clever.

    (email me your PayPal login and password)
<more technobabble>

Yet, I'm sure that people have fallen for it.

Why are spammers so pathetic at spelling?

Cause their stupid! Why else would they engage in a business that more
often bothers their "customers" than not? While some spammers end up
being successful and even rich, I'd be willing to be that by far most of
them are slimballs who "don't want to work for anybody else"/"get rich
quick"/"work at home and make tons of $$$" type people who usually fail
miserably.

Of course it was. Oh you mean the "cause" instead of "because"? I guess
it would be more proper to do "'Cause" to show the omission of "be" but
I thought it was a common enough slang/abbreviation to omit the "'".

Going to church does not make you a Christian any more than standing in
a garage makes you a car.

I thought that PayPal used a registration script on a web server. I
wonder what protocol they use then.

> Secure your hardly earned Money check out: www.onlinehacks.netfirms.com

Two things wrong:
1) Money is not hardly earned but earned hardly (as in, it was earned
difficultly)
2) This would be more convincing if their URL didn't contain the words
"online" and "hack" in the same sentence as "hardly earned money".

You're welcome.

Two suggestions for Usenet folks. First responder to such garbage
should change the subject to  "...= NOT " or "...= SPOOF" or such.
Secondly, someone should forward the posting to  spoof@paypal.com
and THEY will take Rapid Action! - RM

Check with PayPal.

They have been plagued with these notes. They suspect a disgruntled
customer or emplyee is responsible
