    If we all came to WHT and pasted all the SPAM/Phishing attempts that passed through our mailbox, what do you think the result would be? That should be a self-explanatory comment/indication of the relavence of this thread.

    A search of the forum would be helpful, we get one a day at least and most need to be edited. Maybe we should start tossing em all.

    I'd vote to see all of them tossed, especially ones that are posted and make my poor screen stretch so far.

    I recieve 5-10 a day now on accounts that have never even had paypal. My paypal account is not used for anything but paypal.

    Agreed, it accomplishes nothing to have these posted to WHT, there are far more suitable, and appropriate sources to notify.
