Okay mister moron. First off, anyone with any function brain cells would know right off the bat that this isn't really from PayPal because PayPal would never send an email from "us-members.com." They have their own domain called paypal.com and would use an email address from that domain to send me a message. It's really not that hard to fake the from address in an email, so if you really want to con somebody into downloading your little Trojan (or whatever it is), next time at least put a little effort into it. Hell, you didn't even bother to put in a fake PayPal logo or anything.

While we're on the subject, only a total noob would actually download the thing anyway. Anyone with any experience would know it's a scam. If PayPal needed me to update something, they would have me log into my account, they would have me log in to my account not download a file. Next time, why don't you just set up a phishing site like all the other losers. It wouldn't fool me, but maybe you can con somebody's grandmother or something. Loser.
