Odd email from me?

It seems that a number of AOL users have been receiving email apparently from PayPal.com, requesting PayPal login/account details and the like, listing bensaunders.com as the 'from address'.

Rest assured, I'm not PayPal (or Nigerian, for that matter), nor do I have $20 million that I need to launder through your bank account (more's the pity).

In fact, the email didn't come from me at all – it's a form of spam known as spoofing, and I don't think there's anything that can be done about it.
