Do you mean the email that was from an excite.com account and told you to run the attaced exe file? I laughed when I saw that one and not at the lameness of the attempt, but at the though of how many people will get suckered by it.
It's a scam, report to PayPal...
In your E-mail program:
Show all headers (Blah-Blah in Eudora)
ctrl-A, ctrl-C to copy to clipboard
Go to PayPal site and fill in the blanks on the security page and paste (ctrl-V) the E-mail you received.

This is a scam. It's been announced over the news.
You can foward the entire message with headers to snipped-for-privacy@paypal.com. They actually follow up with you! -- tom c
Didn't with me but maybe it was something I said.
It's a scam. To most folks, even checking the URL that it has in the link makes it look legit. It's a scam to gather credit card numbers.
Jimmy wrote what everyone in the thread else has already stated:
Have you ever owned an original thought roach?
Not really, but you apparently have difficulty with reading comprehension.
Do you ever stop inventing new names to post under ?
Do a Google search for paypal + "class action lawsuit". Paypal is a big ripoff, and anyone that gives out any personal info online without being POSITIVE who they are dealing with, is stupid.
U might email or call paypal FIRST.
Hi, That is a spam. Even Paypal warns about it. Just ignore and delete it. Tony
