A New Record For Scam/Spam ?

Tuesday night, I got buried -- literally -- in PayPal spoofs. 15 of
them in a thirty minute period ... I am accustomed to receiving spam
and scam at all hours of the day and night, but fifteen various ones
dealing with PayPal over thirty minutes is some kind of a new record
for me. All have been forwarded to spoof@paypal.com of course ...

In addition, there were a few (but not fifteen!) spoofs on e-Bay sent
to me in the same time period, and a couple of Bank of America things.
Ah, the net! What a cesspool it has become, but I said that once
already, maybe ten years ago.
