I am sorry I *DO* understand *PHISHING*, it is you that does not  
understand.
It is *FUNNY* that as soon as my account was deleted that the  
PHISHING stopped, isn't it? Or are you going to now say the stars  
have something to do with it?
I suspect you have some connection with PAYPAL and are trying to  
minimize the issue.
However if *YOU* want to keep this up I will not respond in the future.
End of the so called conversation.
