It seems every time I use my Paypal acc I start getting these phishing emails again,i got 2 in the week and another today saying I had paid for an item I knew nothing about I forward it to Spoof@Paypay as I allways do asking what they are doing about these bogus emails and I never get a reply.
Is there anyway I can stop these bogus mail`s? i have set them as spam so they are easy to get rid of but I am now starting to get concerned about Paypal security because these conmen/women seem to know when I use my PP acc how do they know?

I had some spoofs and reported them. I was told the emails do not originate from Paypal. None of mine ever came right after using Paypal though. If it actually came from Paypal, you would probably have noticed the money removed from your account or charged to your credit card.
