Two little tips on nasty things like that: 1. Paypal, ebay etc. are very interested in these phishing-mails. Look for "security"-links at their sites and report the mail you've got (don't forget to paste the header of the mail!). They have much more staff (and experience) for hunting those little thiefs, so let them do the work ;o) 2. If you are not sure wether something is serious/secure or not search the usenet with google (link "Groups" or here http://groups.google.com/) by pasting the subject of the mail, then look for results in groups with an "abuse" (like news.admin.net-abuse.email) in the name. Most of the time you find the mail you've got with a little description of the content, sometimes you find detailed informations about the sender (so you can rent a bus and visit him with some other angry recipients ;o) ). By the way: If you want to post there read the Group-FAQ first! Mostly you're not allowed to post attachments there and full copys of the questionable mail are not welcome, the header and your question will do. Greetings Meike
