Sophisticated Phishing

damn modee, kinda scary. Imagine what other info they might have on you @_@. Thanks for the warning though, these phishers are getting better and better.

Paypal employees steal that info and do that. i heard an employee of paypal got caught stealing customers info and send phising emails before, but Paypal kept it on the hush hush.

Last week I also got a letter from my credit card company stating that a employee has been found guilty of stealing customers info and reselling it to other companies..

Bush is making it hard for everybody huh

Sure it wasn't someone that you had done a transaction with? Rhey would have access to whatever the "real" info that you gave to PP was.

I try to make it a habit that whenever I get an email like that from EB or PP that I exit out of all of my browsers and then log in to the account. If it is real I will be asked for that info at that time...and I never had.

I did get fooled by a pop up once while I was surfing EB. The login screen appeared and I said to myself WTF I just signed in, but I did it again. I then noticed that it was a popup window, only the top portion (no url window, etc) and the back and forward buttons were both grey meaning it was a new window. I immeadiately changed my ID and password, but that might have redflagged EB to my acct, because in less than 2 weeks I was suspended by being linked to a suspended account of mine from a year back.
