lol, I got an email from 'Paypal' telling me about an overdue payment or something. I don't even have a paypal account.

So I think they just send these out randomly, and hope you have an account.

lol a friend of mine once got a mail that he illegally download stuff, it was pretty authentic apart from a few typos and a dubios sender, but the shown IP that he was supposed to download with was nowhere near the german IP range xD

That's still an odd email though - I can't see too much that the sender actually gains from this, unless they love imagining people on the other side getting into a slight panic.
