I recieved this email today saying it was from pay pal telling me my account has been suspended and to submit my personal information in order for my account to be returned to normal. " YEAH RIGHT " I DON'T even have a pay pal account. yjey also included an attachment they asked me to download. Some people fall for this scam everyday and these crooks are almost impossible to catch, but IF they ever DO catch them, they should be ( insert your kind of punishment ) but whatever the punishment, it is NOT severe enough. I am pasting the text part of this bogus email below here without the attachment of course so that everyone here can reconize it if it shows up in their email inbox.
