Hmmmm...this could be potentially dangerous. If you try the supplied web address http://www.transaction-systems.org/ it comes up with a convincing duplicate of the PayPal page. I'll notify PayPal about it, they should be able to tell us if it is related to them or not. I'll let you know if I hear anything. Moebius |

The actual url is after the "@", which would be transaction-systems.org. Most people see the paypal.com part and figure it's legit not realizing that is ignored and the address is really transaction-systems.org. |

paypal ALWAYS shows up as https Anytime you go to paypal it'll be on a secure server. Anyone claiming to take you to a http address on behalf of paypal is a scam... *shrug* rampy |
