The emails are so obviously written by someone who is not a native English speaker that I wonder how they ever find victims. But I suppose enough of the recipients also have limited English skills.
Then there are the legitimate messages from PayPal telling me that they could better serve me if I would just give them access to my bank account. I was sure it was a phishing scam. I couldn't believe it when PayPal told me that it really was them asking for the data. No thanks!

I never did that because I have read bad things about them like they would take money out of your account if something you had gotten money for was disputed and then they would keep it for until the resolution, which might be many many months.
Granted that was all before eBay bought them out, so hopefully they canned the people that made those policies.
