I've been getting alot of those lately. Did you send it to spoof@paypal.com? They will investigate the matter and also might press charges.

i've seen spoof paypal sites that hide your address bar and creates a fake one (using javascript?) that says paypal.com.

don't click links. always type in the address into your address bar. especially for paypal.

So lame, i used to see those all the time when i worked for earthlink. There were some good spoofs out there, i saw a couple of earthlink spoof sites trying to get cc info that were soo bad though. People would call in and say they got an email and wanted to know what it was for so i'd have them forward it and tell them to never ever enter cc info in a link sent via email. the best spoofs were the ones with typos, lol

Useless, we'd appreciate if you'd take down your post. SJP is an Austin, TX based technology company. I work closely with them developing custom code and administrating their web servers. If their website seems odd, it's because they've just launched it and are still getting their feet on the ground; they were launched a couple months ago and are in the process of setting up a site in Florida as well as Austin. I've also developed some of the code for lindasgulfcoastcondos.com, mentioned for the webmaster email.

We'd appreciate it if you'd take down or edit your post and check your facts before slandering a legitimate business, thanks.

Edit:
Hm, seems this post is from '06. SJP was never involved in scamming or spamming. They hit financial trouble years back and had to shut down; they just started back up. Point still stands.

5 year-old thread.......... You might get more bees with honey. Just saying.

I worked for a company years ago that had 40 BBB complaints and rectified all of them in a week. I certainly didn't sound like you and I eventually saw why they had 40 complaints and left soon thereafter. o:
