[SEL] OT mail from PayPal

[John Culp]

These things are spoofed and are just set up to get you to reveal your 
account number, password, etc. so they can clean you out. I got a bunch 
of them today claiming to be from various businesses like Citibank and 
PayPal, an announcement that I've won $550,000 US from "The Canadian 
International Lottery" and must claim it by July 21, and several more 
copies of the good old African money laundering scam.
