Paypal Phishing Scam Feb 07
We take a look at the website using Firefox and Internet Explorer 7.

The scammer has copied the login page at Paypal.com, and left the Paypal links on the Tabs intact. Note that IE 7 has a pretty good feature, it detects that it is a suspicious site. For once after so long, I am impressed with IE.
