Haha, you believe that?

Sorry for being so snappy, but how can PayPal (or any site for that matter) block mail being sent from any mail server, or compromised home PC that has been set up by spyware to send out these mails.

Just delete the thing and forget about it.

If your mail client has a "mark as spam" do that as well, but thats not really going to do much either.

Cool.

Oh BTW I have this magic rock that keeps lions away, since I bought it I haven't been attacked by a single lion.

Wanna buy it?

All PayPal can do is investigate where it was sent from and then act to have that IP address blocked from sending mail.

There is nothing they can do to stop a mail server sending mail to another mail server that they dont control.

You have just gotten lucky with this one.

SPAM is almost unstoppable, the best you can do is filter it to a manageable level.

Re: Paypal phising email

I get plenty of "phishing" and "spam" emails from supposed banks, the ironic thing is I'm not with any of them :D

Chompy there is no way of spotting it, that button just alerts PayPal of the matter, just look out for spelling, who its from, the URL you are clicking, cos it'll be a sub-domain with paypal in it to make it look so.
