But even if you type the address in the address bar, you're not 100% safe. If you have a keylogger installed on your PC, you can go to the legit Paypal site(or other site) and your account will still be hacked.

And for the people sending the emails is a very cheap method with nothing to lose. Just like email spam actually :sad: Is very hard to believe how many people fall for this.

But what about those unfortunate heirs who just need a small amount of your money. This might be bad of me but I just love to mess with them when I get an Email like that. I act interested and then just say something like "joke is on you":) That was very sneaky indeed. But what about those unfortunate heirs who just need a small amount of your money.

It´s so hard to trust e-mails these days. Before it was hard to trust those from the people we didn´t know; now they use the names of people and companies we do trust. It´s hard, man!!
