Re: Shaved monkeys working overtime at PayPal

That's nothing.
I tried to notify them of a far more serious fraud attempt.
I even had the name and address in Nigeria plus the phone number being used in the UK
Did they give a ***?

No, as usual you have completely missed the point. I am notifying you that these email addresses are misusing Paypal to violate the law.

Do you not receive ANY training or do you simply never read anything sent to you?
