Get several every hour to my various email spam folders.

They are not even trying if they use the 'Dear PayPal client,'

If you set your spam filters strongly they shouldn't bother you with these poor attempts any more.

wow, several every hour?? how annoying must that be! I usually only get them occasionally.

Thanks I will take a look at the Yahoo spam filter.
