Why can't we take all hackers, phishers and pop up people and publicly exicute them? Seems fair to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malibudon Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Whenever I send anything to spoof@ebay.com or spoof@paypal.com, I always get a response. Actually, usually two--the first acknowledges receipt of the e-mail, the second confirming that it was, in fact, phishing. If I get a phishing e-mail, I always spend it to spoof@ so they know their company is being targeted, and maybe they can figure out who's doing it.
