    phishing is growing now a days. its best to get a internet security program that block phishing and phishing emails (in email clients).

    I haven't got a PP or Ebay spoof in a few weeks! I hate the really lazy ones though that don't even use a PP image header to make it look "official" :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    this is called spoofing. Its not even safe to follow those links because sometimes they install spy ware which tries to hack the password by reading your activities.
