Actually, if anything turns up in your mail that is even slightly suspicious just copy and paste the heading of what turned up into your browser and the answer will be there.
These types of pricks annoy me so much, they still catch so many people.

Re: Internet Scams.
Ya, I received couple of them a year back. I've seen scam warnings all over so I was wary especially when I saw the word 'please update' - one of the key words for detecting scammers. So what I did was to hover my cursor over their links and compare them with the ones on actual paypal site. And not surprisingly, they were different so I just ignored the emails...
Once in awhile, get outside in fresh air, take a deep breath & with a deep sigh, let out all the things that's bottled up inside you & be free, & you'll get a glimpse of nirvana.

Re: Internet Scams.
You know these tech kids who invent viruses, why dont they become Robin Hoods of the cyber world and send their new viruses to all the scammers emails disguised as legit replies?
