Subject:Re: NVR: Who's Selling Listee Addresses???
From:Mike Collum

I have one email address that I use for business communication with only
one individual.  For 3 years I had received nothing on that one other
than the aforementioned business mail.  Not long ago I received a bogus
PayPal "Phishing" email that wasn't even addressed directly to that
account.  I made the mistake of forwarding it to spoof@paypal.com and
have been regularly receiving spam addressed to that account ever since.

I wrote to PayPal about it but have decided not to forward anything else
to their spoof box.
