Even if they get your paypal login and start taking money or so, isn't there a legal way to stop that or so? As in, track the guy down, get the money back, etc?

Just curious.

These guys aren't family-friendly businessmen from Virginia who just happen to steal PayPal accounts for a living; these are overseas criminals who make tens of thousands of dollars per week off these scams... they are criminals -- it's not as simple as tracking them and "oh, hey dude, can I have my money back?"

I keep getting mails back that they can't find links in the attachments. Tried making attachments, forwarding it and all. Maybe it's because 90% of my mail comes through gmail.

Yeah, you need to be using attachments when you forward emails. This works perfectly for me in Outlook 2003 and Thunderbird -- what are you using to read email?

People have been killed in dealing with these scammers.
