There seems to be no end to the online cons... and they have the nerve to do the same one over and over. I received the following:

Mail from PP will never be addressed 'Dear Customer' it will always be in your account name.

If you use mailwasher it will also show you the REAL link in the preview pane which is not the link that may show up in OE - this goes for any suspicious mail that you may get.

If you are using the newest version of Firefox, the site loads with a big warning saying it's a suspected forgery site.

  Hi Xena.... No, I never actually go to these sites, and, yes, I'm running Firefox. Mostly, what I do, is have all e-mails show in the "expanded" format.... then, if it looks suspicious, I have a look at the header. Lou.

I don't ever go to those sites either :)
But I just wanted people to know that Firefox is helping to recognise these sites for what they are, and people really should use it instead of anything else.
