I quite honestly lover phishers. We have had four phishing e-mails broadcasted across our campus to all student and faculty e-mail address this summer. The problem is that the e-mails are blatantly false. They do not look nearly as decent as your PayPal scammers.

The page looks like high quality, but none of the links worked, and then of course there's the domain. Some of these schemer are laughable for sure though!
