    As an addendum to this thread, I recieved an email today to my hotmail account. Alleged from Paypal, warning of a problem with my account, it contained the following sentence.


    "We are contacting you to inform you that on June. 10, 2005 our Account Review Team identified some unusual activity in your account."


    Spot the deliberate mistake!

    I knew it was phish before reading the email. How? I've never used my hotmail address with Paypal - Thought that was a point that hasn't been made yet - Does the email have any business whatsoever being in the account you found it in?
