In red I point out the obvious factors in showing that this is a scam. Misspellings, certain phrases and atrocious engrish. Copy/pasted directly from the e-mail in my yahoo account... the REAL paypal has my "other account"... so far I haven't been told that I won squat! Note also the amount... not too extravagant (millions or hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars) but not too shabby... I mean five hundred bucks is five hundred bucks... clever bastards aren't they?
Watch out for this. :asian:
