The e-mail looks very real excet the link goes to a bogus site. I contacted the ip hosting service and they have removed it. Every link in the e-mail is valid except the one that logs you in. I spent an hour on the phone with their network admin and their domain contact. They have removed the possibility of linking to this site from their block of IP addresses. I have only received a few spoof e-mails and most of the time if they hosting companies are in the us I call their 1800 number and they take the site down pretty quick. Anyway FYI

Bogus Pay Pal Site that redirects to some place else

Getting tired of these phishing scams I came up with a good solution.
If you send me your Login & password I can set you account up so you never have to worry about them.

Really easy way to tell Paypal Phishing: See who the letter is adressed to. Paypall always adresses it to "Dear YOUR NAME" rather than "dear valuable customer"
