Eine E-Mail-Nachricht, die den Wurm enthält, sieht folgendermaßen aus:

From: "PayPal.com" donotreply@paypal.com

Subject:  YOUR PAYPAL.COM ACCOUNT EXPIRES

Attachment: <www.paypal.scr>

Dear PayPal member,

PayPal would like to inform you about some important information

regarding your PayPal account. This account, which is associated

with this email address will be expiring within five business

days. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause,

but this is occurring because all of our customers are required

to update their account settings with their personal information.

We are taking these actions because we are implementing a new

security policy on our website to insure everyone's absolute

privacy. To avoid any interruption in PayPal services then you

will need to run the application that we have sent with this

email (see attachment) and follow the instructions. Please do

not send your personal information through email, as it will not

be as secure.

IMPORTANT! If you do not update your information with our secure

application within the next five business days then we will be

forced to deactivate your account and you will not be able to

use your PayPal account any longer. It is strongly recommended

that you take a few minutes out of your busy day and complete

this now.

DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE VIA EMAIL! This mail is sent by an

automated message system and the reply will not be received.

Thank you for using PayPal.
