    Thanks for sharing, I've been getting a few dodgy-looking PayPal scams sent to me as of late - anyone else noticed a marked increase in this crap?

Recently, I had an email regarding phishing scam that basically spun out of control with nonsense regarding my account had been used by another location, with a delicate email such as

    Noting that the L in the word pal was missing, but replaced with the number 1. Shortly after, I received three more emails, luckily in my spam folder, from the same address.
