I think I actually got one of his emails.

It looked very official, from PayPal, but when
I clicked on the link for all the "needed" information,
I got this funny looking URL in the address bar...

http://210.187.122.110/Verify.htm

I left the site without giving any information, now the
site no longer exists. I've always thought I was cynical
enough not to fall for these, but I came very close to 
filling out the information. 

Thanks for the story, Larry.

Ernie "more cynical now" Newton
