I know this is off topic, but I figure it will get the most exposure here...
I rec'd an e-mail at home supposedly from PayPal, stating the following:

No one in my household has a PayPal account and no one ordered this product...
I reported it to PayPal ... I'll see what happens...

I get one of these every couple of months.

Whenever you get one of these you should send a copy of it to spoof@paypal.com. They will resond within a few hours to verify that it's false and then they'll go after the spammer.

I've had several of those lately. Just send it to Paypal.

Yes just forward it to spoof@paypal.com and they will investigate the fraudulent website in the link that has been made to look like paypal.
