... what do you normally do with them?
It's through no great love of PayPal that I normally forward them so that PayPal will know of the attempts. Not for PayPal's benefit, but for the benefit of some other poor sap who might fall victim. |

I send them to SpamCop so they get tracked back to source and their ISP gets blacklisted so they can't continue to spam everyone.
Waste of time sending to PayPal or any bank as they will already have hundreds of them by the time you respond.

Ours get picked up by our AV software (kaspersky) and we just delete as any form of response would indicate a live email addy that would be manna from heaven to the spammers.
