Hi,

I dont know if people on this list know this, that's why I am mailing
it to know if you had such experience. I got this email from PayPal
(below). This is new way to SPAM, where the spammer sends you a eCheck
through PayPal, then later cancels the payment. The value on eCheck is
very small. But the spammer is able to get his mails into users inbox
through PayPal servers.

Its quite good idea, I tried to check out on PayPal site where I can
report this, but didnt find anything to report about this type of
spamming.

I am not censoring spammers info.
