I’m not holding my breath, but let’s see what happens. No fucking way am I paying that bastard four grand for the privilege of making fun of him. Billing me in that manner is interstate fraud, and a violation of terms of service at PayPal.

eBay. As you may have already suspected, this email was not sent by eBay. These emails, commonly referred to as spoofs, are sent by fraudulent sources posing as eBay in an attempt to collect sensitive financial information or passwords. Please know that PayPal and eBay are committed to the security of our sites and our members. We review every report we receive and forward all vital information on to the appropriate authorities for further action and tracking. We work actively and aggressively in partnership with many agencies, ISP's, and law enforcement groups to support their investigation of these fraudulent entities. As a public company, we rely on the same agencies you do to pursue these fraudulent activities. You may also wish to contact your ISP or email service provider for further information or instructions. Now that you have received a spoofed email, your email address has been collected by a fraudulent source. As a result, you may continue to receive spoofed emails for some time as these groups move from ISP to web hosting sites setting up fraudulent email addresses, fake sites, and sending spoofed emails. PayPal and eBay have enacted several preventative measures and have provided increased information that is available on both sites help pages to help educate our members in spotting fake emails. In the future, we advise you to be very cautious of any email appearing to be from eBay or PayPal that asks you to submit financial information such as your credit card number or any type of password. As for eBay, they will never ask you for certain financial information such as passwords, bank account or credit card numbers, Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), or Social Security numbers in an email. All sensitive information should be submitted on a secure page located on the eBay or PayPal site. If you have any doubt about whether an email message is from PayPal, please forward it immediately to spoof@paypal.com. For eBay spoofed emails, please forward those to spoof@ebay.com. Please do not respond to it or click on any of the links in the email message. Please do not change the subject line or edit the email in any way. If you have already entered sensitive information as mentioned above, you should take immediate action to protect your identity and online accounts. If you only clicked on a link inside of a spoofed email, you may also want to run a security scan on your computer. eBay has a help page with valuable information regarding the steps you should take to protect yourself. Below is a link to this page: http://pages.ebay.com/securitycenter/index.html Once again, thank you for alerting us to the spoofed email you received.

Just once, I would like to see this kind of response:
Thank your for your complaint. PayPal has dispatched several of its armed enforcers to Morris, Illinois for the sole purpose of putting a bullet in Mr. Pacione’s head to cease his illegal activities.
It will never happen, of course, but it would sure beat the millionth and one explanation from PayPal about how they either can’t, or refuse to take any action against Nicky, even when presented with solid evidence that he’s charging people money just because he’s pissed off at them.
Ben, he does not need a hole in the head. He already has several and his brains leaked out, leaving just a couple of dirty marbles and a few loose screws rolling around inside it.
Here’s what I don’t understand. Nicky gets away with this crap for years on end, but George R. R. Martin had his paypal account locked because they decided that he was a terrorist.
http://grrm.livejournal.com/7831.html
That’s terrible. I wonder if there is any way we can get Nicky’s name on that list?
