One of my colleagues got a PayPal phishing LETTER, actual USPS mail, this weekend.

So...

Imagine what they do to a septic system that counts on the ‘stuff’ it ingests being somewhat biodegradable..

Similar, but not quite so obvious (to me.)

I’ve been through this before. I was on edge because I had recently lost my PP card. It has been replaced, but I wasn’t about to be fooled.

PayPal is refining their site all the time, so I feel safer and safer with each improvement.

Someone must have had a personal knowledge of your colleagues because most correspondence doesn’t come from PayPal. There is nothing on the outside of the envelope that even hints at PP.

And if the email had been real, I would actually have seen the message on my PP account, not in my email account.

I received two emails from PayPal. One to let me know they had gotten the phishing email I forwarded, and the other to let me know it was, indeed, a phishing scam. They will make improvements to the site security, once again.

Life is good. The bad guys lost this time. :o])

"That's gross."

If looks could kill, a basilisk that had been condemned to haunt the sewer pipes of a castle for a thousand years, would probably not be safe around children.

Jeeze...I completely spaced #7219. I lost the story after I said I needed coffee, and completely missed the NYC sewer “nudie.” Ugly stuff, that...

Now, of course, I wish I hadn’t seen it.

Some things should just be left for Mike Rowe to deal with.

Getting the Tuesday special for lunch at Popeye’s doesn’t seem quite as celebratory this week.
