the links go to http://paypal.4t.com/

i put in a fake email and pw to see what it does and it resolves to the real paypal site after you enter your info to make it seem like u just made an error.

The link is dead, but thanks for the update (surely others will try this scam).

I never link from an email notification. I simply go to paypal and log in to verify payments. Too many times I've heard about fake "paypal" sites - all they need is to get your password, and they can really mess you up!

all i can say is "holy crap!". i can see people falling for this, those unfortunate enough to not be dvdt members spam savages<img src="http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/cwm/cwm/angryfire.gif"
