Het enige probleem is: ik heb geen Paypal account. Hoewel ik het vaak zeer verleidelijk vind om er een te nemen, is het mij te onveilig.

Wat ik mij af vraag, is of er nog echt mensen zijn, die hier intrappen. De afzender is toch zeer twijfelachtig?

Ik gebruik nu al jaren Gmail via POP3 en het aantal spam en physhing onzin is vrijwel nihil, dus ik zit nu in een slappe lachbui :-)
