Your Account Was Violated!
I get about ten of them a day, and report about half of them (it it a PITA to report this stuff EVERYDAY), I was sure I heard it all; until I got this one with the subject above!!!

Yeah, I just got that one for the first time this morning. "Violated" certainly grabbed my attention.....now I feel like I need to take a shower.

Saw that one this morning and had a good laugh over it.

I also get about 10 spoofs a day for either eBay or Paypal. I've got Mailwasher Pro setup so they get forwarded to spoof@ebay.com or spoof@paypal.com automatically.

Then there's the phishing attempts from banks I've never even heard of, let alone have an account with. Not to mention the son/daughter/wife/executor of the estate of the late and/or deposed dictator/president/engineer-working-overseas seeking a "trustworthy individual" to assist them in raping the estate.

Regards,
