[Spridgets] Ebay and paypal

[William McLeod]

Short story for Mr. Johnson:  A few days ago I got an email from  
someone supposedly in Paypal security, saying they had tried to call  
my number and had blocked my Paypal debit card and would I call this  
number.... Went online.  Nope, not paypal's number.  Sent the raw  
source email off to spoof at paypal.com.  Later went to the P.O. and  
found my card refused.  Went home, called customer service.  Long  
hold, big runaround, got an agent.  Couldn't find any problem. Please  
call security at xxx-xxxx.  Yup, same number as on the email.  More  
hold, got an agent.  Wanted my card number.  I said no.  He couldn't  
find me anywhere in the system, and I finally caved and gave the card  
number.  Yes, they blocked my card.  They had tried to call my phone  
no. from 5 years ago.  Had no current info.  Got it all squared away,  
chewed on his ear, hung up.  Got an email from Paypal spoof the next  
day saying the email, which had turned out to be real, was indeed a  
spoof, and they would track it down!
Paypal shows none of the signs of a well-run company!
