Geez, these emails have been going around for years. Did you really need to post about it?

I think you should post them as people still fall for them (people that have been living in a cave or in a coma for the last few years).

True, this letter has been spread around a number of times in the past. It doesn't hurt to have it posted for those that aren't aware of it.

read what paypal says. They never ask for your id or password

You'd think those phishers would leave us BHers alone
