    Paypal now spamming too?

    Just got this in the mail - senders address "Paypal-Randomizer@Internet.com" - anybody else seeing this garbage?

    Paypal Users Read This!

    Do you own a Paypal account?

    Want to receive 'random' payments of $10 on it?
    I'm sure by now you are confused, just as i was
    visit the following link and read about it

    You wont be sorry.

    Within first 3 days i made over $150 from $10!

    And you can too..

    Click here for more information

    Still confused?
    Right heres how it works:
    When you sign up you pay $10 to a member selected at random
    then you are added into the list of random members
    so anyone who signs up after you will possibly be paying you the $10
    you will easily make your money back and more
    since randomizers are pretty new no one is yet using them
    so get on the random list before everyone else does then you
    can make a fortune!

            Got two of them yesterday, anything that says it isn't spam is in my books.

                  yup.

                  there are some interesting lines in the header:

                  This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report
                  Primary Hostname - hosting.letterwealth.com
                  Originator/Caller UID/GID - [0 0] / [47 12]
                  Sender Address Domain - hosting.letterwealth.com
                  does anyone know how I can get the header data out of the message with mozilla? I can display it, but I can mark only one line at a time.

                      I erased it so I do not remember specifics but the addresses in the email do not match up with the shown address. At least not all of them.

                        I received one also. I don't think it was officially from Paypal. Sounded more like a private chain letter/get-rich-quick scheme to me.

                          Yup, I got it too. Definitely not from Paypal. Just a slightly modified "MAKE MONEY FAST" style scheme/scam.
