Aha!

That makes perfect sense - and I'm not sure how I overlooked that detail.

Much appreciated for clarifying that.

I too have had no luck getting PayPal to do anything about it, although I 
didn't point out the phishing part as I honestly hadn't noticed that.  I just 
looked at the headers to see if the email was legitimately from PayPal and not 
the content...  rookie mistake.

Thank you,
