The initial phishing letter arrived at that box through a Verizon faux
pas.  It was NOT sent directly to that email address.  I made the
mistake of forwarding the phishing letter to spoof at paypal from that
account.

I can only assume that someone at paypal's spoof department is selling
addresses ... or ... some hacker has found a way of waylaying paypal's
spoof email in order to harvest addresses.
