Original Post:
Hey guys i just got a email form what appears to be from paypal. Gmail knew that it was a scam and alerted me with a nice red box. In the email the link goes LINK REMOVED and its made to look like it goes Here. Do not enter your info to the first link. The site hosting the link is Here and i really doubt that paypal will use third party hosting. Like i said im sure that most people know already i just wanted to warn those who didnt know

Good notification. But be careful when going in there! They have an infected cookie.

And tobb555, you might wanna check your system for viruses since you haven't mentioned anything about this happening on yours.

Stupid Phishing Paypal Scam, I got one of those e-mails also

hmmmm very dodgey, yeah norton picked up a virus to when i went onto the website!
Ive heard bad things about PayPal, i dunno how true it is because ive never used it, but something about them freezing money while its in an account so you cant access it!! :S

thats for the warning. Im doing a scan now

Yeah I get a virus thingy also, btw thanks for the alert tobb555. I posted it as news.

The login session on Paypal will always be SSL secured. This scam login isn't. Easy to spot it!

I've also got a virus alert given by Symantec AntiVirus:

Unfortunetly there are some users out there that will fool for this...

tobbs remove the link, passing a virus around will get you warned here.

Some = Alot lol

Link Removed

I bet he didn't intend to pass viruses around especially since he didn't knew about it in the first place. Just as a sign of notice.

Oh yeah.....deleted my attachment cause the link is in there too.

paypal scams they just never stop. Thanks again gMail.

If our member's can't notice the Caution I added to the Original post then there is something wrong. Anyways, even though the link was removed, The Screenshot in the following post provide's a view of the infected webpage, enough to continue to inform our member's.

edit: nvm the Screenshot was removed, I'm tired I need some rest!

yes it was not my intention to spread a virus thats why i warned you guys. But i did remove it at BSODs request.

hmm maybe I can post it back.....this time without the link on the address bar.

EDIT: There. Shouldn't be a problem now....I hope.

guys some people arent smart and for their safety i asked the link be removed... its against our policy and i dont want people getting virus' from the content on our board.
