Remember, NEVER, EVER click an e-mail in a link. Always log onto the site through the bookmark in your browser or by typing in the address (paypal.com). Always pass your mouse over the link to see where it actually goes. In these phishing e-mails, the link will go to some screwy URL. since it slipped past Yahoo's Spam filters I've found the the Yahoo filters are very poor. Every day, I get 5 to 10 spam e-mails in my INBOX (out of 15 new messages). Why are these messages sent to my inbox and not my Bulk Mail folder? Why aren't the messages deleted before they even arrive in my account? In my other Yahoo account, I routinely get 20-25 spam messages in my inbox... which is usually 100% of the mail in my inbox. Again, why can't their filters tell that "Generric V!agrra" is a spam message? And their "address blocking" feature is even more of a joke when you consider the fact that most spammers use almost random e-mail addresses. Blocking an address like "qqww6252HHS@comcast.com" won't help to stop spam. Back to the topic, though: It is probably hard for Yahoo (and other ISP's) to block these phishing e-mails since the messages look just like the real things... and may even forge the company's "trusted e-mail" flags. If Yahoo starts to block these messages, PayPal (and Citibank's) real e-mails may not get through. --John
