New PayPal's Email Spam

New PayPal's email spam came through different IP addresses. Those are the IP addresses spoted by my radar: 72.32.93.198 24.116.112.251 72.32.51.73 All are US IP addresses. The first goes to California, Laughing Squid LLC; the second goes to Tennessee, Dyersburg, Cable One; and the third goes to Texas, San Antonio, Rackspace.com LTD

The Return-Path: accounts at paypal dot us
Received: from 87808-www1 dot scifi-studios dot com (72.32.51.73)
Received: from 24-116-112-251.cpe dot cableone dot net (HELO User) (24.116.112.251) by 72.32.93.198 with SMTP; 30 May 2007 07:58:19 -0500

The Subject line says: Notification from Billing Department

The hotmail message begins with a PayPal image which goes through this URL for the image: img src="http : // images dot paypal dot com/images/pixel.gif and it represents a PayPal logo.

The only different URL on the message is: camelweb dot ro/sitemap/cgi-bin/webscrcmd=_login-run/update dot php

The email spam body says:

I think some people who are using this service should be aware and deal carefully with such email spam.
