to remain limited for an extended period of time may result in further

:smilie_happy: I got the same a couple times in the past. All such emails are bogus. They try the same crap with banks too.

I used to get that one a couple times a week, then they just stopped. :?: Maybe they just got tired. :smilie_happy:

I still get the one from B of A once in awhile. But......I don't even have an account there.

And of course, there are several females asking why I didn't recognize them at the party the other night. (probably because I was at home with my wife) :whistling:

YA..I always send these to the spoof@paypal thingy too. I usually get a response back verifying it as BS, but so far, I haven't gotten anything on this particular one yet. :beg:
