What scares me - more than the amount of scam emails seeming to rise - is the level of people almost taken in by them.  Our head office staff at work were 'very' close to revealing our company private Paypal information, thanks to gullible directors.  They emailed me asking why the account had been frozen - I'm afraid I was rather curt in my email response!  Scam emails are to be expected, but I also expect people in senior positions to be able to spot those same scams.
