Incidentally, his computer students could use your old optical mice, their old style ones get gummed up frequently, due to the dirt and dust. Also, any old unused RAM would be appreciated. Thanks!

I received one of those emails last week from pay pal also. Notice that I put a space in between the name. Thats how it showed up on the email title too. I knew something wasn't right immediately.

I get those paypal emails maybe once every two months on average probably... I always forward to spoof@paypal.com . It probably doesn't help much but you have to try and fight these lowlife ****bags somehow. I like to think every little bit helps. I don't know who falls for this crap but I guess if only one in every 10000 do they can scam some money!

I get 5 or 6 a week and grew so tired of them I started forwarding their emails to each other.
