I'm an Anti-Phishing Champion!

PayPal Anti-Phishing Champion certificateLately, I've been receiving fake PayPal e-mails on a daily basis. Not really a problem, as these mails are automatically moved to my "Junk mail folder" in Thunderbird.

Because I'm such a nice guy, I decided to alert PayPal about it. For those that don't know it yet, you can just forward those fraudulent mails to spoof@paypal.com, so that the tech guys can inspect them. After a minute, they replied with a nice thankyou message, which contained the link to their Fight Phishing Challenge.

Guess what... I managed to answer all 5 questions correctly, making me a true Anti-Phishing Champion! Something new to put on my resume...
