Briefly, both of them are claiming that there're some security problems with my paypal account, and ask me to check id or login through the link given in the mail blah blah blah ... Bah! Stupid and ridiculous fraud mail! Too many his sort of silly phishing mail mucking around these days (and also strangely enough, much more people DO believe in or are trapped by these stupid jokes...) Unfortunately, these silly mails don't work on me~~~~ You stupid fraud~~~~ ♪~♫♫~~♪~
