..telephone company and Paypal informing me that i need to reset my password. Its easy to spot a scam on email if you look at the return address. Some how i just knew that pattyspoodles@blahblah.com was not really Paypal, my phone company or Amazon. The latest one was thanking me for my 100$ renewal fee to Macafee.

yeah right....

but when they call and I answer ( cuz sometimes Im inna mood to eff with their minds) I answer them in my best demon voice and tell them im rising up from hell to get them and then I leave the phone off the hook.
