Personally, if they make it past my spam filter, I just report them as spam and never reply to them, or unsubscribe. Keeping my interactions with these pinheads to a minimum, the volume of these has diminished over time to where I get only a few per day now, most of which end up in the spam folder which I dump regularly.

I always forward these, complete with headers, to spoof@paypal.com. That gives them a chance to close down the scam site. For ebay, there's spoof@ebay.com, and for regular banks banksafeonline. Don't just delete it; report it.

thats a good idea... like i'm doing with all the publicity that i receive in my mail box. i put'it in too an envelope ans send'it back to the persone or company that send me the publicity.

I kind of do the same but I wait until I have loads, pick one at random and address an big envelope to them. I put ALL the junk in there along with a note that says

"Congratulations. You are the winner in the current junk mail draw!"

Then I post it with no stamps. That means the recipient has to pay for the postage plus a hefty fee!

Thaks everybody, this puts my mind at ease, I was refering to a story on yahoo 2 years back that said paypal was the #1 target of hackers...but if it's only through social engineering, no worries there, as I am the most paranoid computer user on planet earth. I remember how many emails may ebay account use to get from " paypal" lol when i didn't even have paypal, they wanted a " new password, and current credit card info, or account to be terminated" so i can see how some people could fall for that. I would just send them all to ebay as spam.
