Hi, just for information. I got a PayPal scam email this morning that was very sophisticated-- they seem to be able to fake the real https://www.paypal.com website on the address bar, even when you&#39;re not really at the PayPal site.

Watch out for this one-- any real email from PayPal will always address you by your real name, not as &#39;valued customer&#39; or something.

Details (if anyone cares) are the scam email is redirecting you through this URL: This site places a spoof PayPal address in your address bar, that emulates the real PayPal site precisely. (Anyone know how it does this?) I logged in to it with a fake ID and keyed in a bunch of garbage information. It even asked for my ATM personal ID number&#33; If you want to amuse yourself this morning, try it out from the suyilien URL above (but of course key in a fake email address and password, and bogus data.)

The https:// string at the start of a URL indicates that the connection is being made through SSL, the secured sockets layer. In other words, it is encrypted.
