Most phishing emails pass to the bin without a second thought, but today I received one worthy of mention. My Paypal account has been suspended (no surprise there), with the email coming from accountsuspended@ etc. However, Paypal's physical address suggested something might be amiss.......

PayPal, 9 mersey road, Luxembourg, Luxembourg

The intelligence levels of both phisher and any obliging phishee are questionable.

Every day up to the New Year, but since then only on the 6th, 8th 12th and 30th January plus the 13th March. Looks like he is becoming unreliable.

FYI the price for 2000 'ancient' coins is still £8m. Unfortunately I have sufficient stocks of 1959 5 paise and 1970 20 paise (nil stock) to be able to take up his offer. I will bear him in mind.
