fraudulent PayPal

[Donald Wilkinson]

FYI: Yesterday, digitaldon received an email from From : PayPal Inc. service@paypal.com> which had the address: http://by104fd.bay104.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/getmsg?msg=ACDE99C3-6355-4B78-9A02- 685E62E587BF&start=0&len=2883&msgread=1&imgsafe=y&curmbox=00000000%2d0000%2d0000% 2d0000%2d000000000001&a=7e5cee8ad0b2c763ec642e11ee6ee96c (!). This contained the URL:

>[url=https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-runhttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_login-run Note the https//. >Clicking on this brings one to an alleged PayPal page stating that the page >has been moved, and another link. Clicking on this brings one to a very >authentic looking PayPal log-in page with another https// address inviting >one to log in. Since digitaldon had been suspicious from the jump, he did >not. spoof@paypal verified that this was fraudulent. 'Nuff said.
