<VV> Paypal, VV and other phishing expeditions

[Charles Lee]

VV would be doing us all service by forwarding all such phishing expeditions 
to Spoof at PayPal.com or the company that is being phished.

It may be a little programming, but that's a lot of "evidence" that will 
help nail all those who make a LOT of money on the one or two who 
inadvertently click and give them their information (and all their money)

We may be more worldly than most in that regard (regardless of how 
technically challenged you might feel you are - you're smarter than most !)

I made a few phony sites for my "Intro to the Internet" course that I taught 
a while back, to see if students could tell which was real and which was 
"phishy" ?

It's easy to steal the logos and even the site keys, and use them in your 
own attempts to defraud, but I guess I should limit this, so none of us 
start moonlighting !  (We wouldn't, but someone who reads these message 
might - but not us.)

Most importantly, never, never, never give your VV ID away, or someone may 
impersonate you and ask newbie questions, or post "Mustangs Rules !" with 
your VV ID !

Don't let it happen to you !

Charlie
