If you use Mozilla it picked it up right away, but idk about IE. Just wanted to pass the word along. Wouldn't want to see some one get ripped off by some idiot.

Yeah, everytime that I use my paypal account I get one of those stupid emails.  I think that some dumb hackers have some eyes on the ingoing and outgoing Paypal servers.  Just forward them to spoof@paypal.com.  Also if you use Firefox there is an awesome feature that shows you when you are on a phishing website.  You should get Firefox.
