womzilla... is evolving quickly. It seems like only a month ago I got my first phish e-mail claiming to be about an eBay item I hadn't paid on. Today, I got one which set off a shocked "this must be wrong! I have to investigate!" alert that was almost tangible--a fake invoice for a $1,999.97 computer system through Amazon. (Now that Amazon sells pretty much everything, Amazon accounts are a great target for phishing.)
I hope the author gets everything he deserves, and hard.

At this point, I don't dare ever reactivate my old Paypal & ebay accounts. Because now I know that every email claiming to be from paypal or ebay are fake.
