Just the other day I got a well done paypal e-mail scam. I mean REALLY well done.

Obviously the entire thing was BS and anyone alert to scams would know it was, but that thing is going to catch huge numbers of e-noobs. That "we'll delete your account after 72 hours thing" is going to instantly alert anyone even remotely aware of how scams work. But it'll also catch a lot of idiots.

The number of mistakes on the e-mail were fairly minimal. Seriously though, these Nigerians need to get an American to proofread their stuff. If they fixed the few mistakes in there it would be flawless.

Here's a copy of it: http://www.wolves.us/ppscam.pdf

Sounds legit.

BTW, check out a scam email I got when I was trying to sell my PS3 on eBay.

http://www.wiznillyp.com/files/GmailPaypalScam.pdf

This is my favorite part:
This PayPal® payment has been deducted from the buyer's account and has been "APPROVED/DEPOSITED into escrow account" but this is international shipment, your account will not be a credited until the shipment tracking number is sent to us for shipment verification so as to secure both the seller and the buyer. Below are the necessary information requested before your account will be credited. You are to send the shipment tracking number through our customer service helpline (info.paypalcustomeraccount@emailaccount.com) and our customer service care will attend to you. As soon as you send us the shipment's tracking number to us for security purposes and the safety of the buyer and the seller, the money will be credited to your account. Do not send to the buyer the reference/tracking number for the safety of your money.

Oh come on. If you want to scam a native English speaker then you need to at least make a reasonable attempt. That scam is lower quality than the english section of a manual for a product made in China.
