Hello,
I just received some fake message pretending to be from paypal, leading to a fake Paypal website.
However, unlike most similar scams this one was pretty smart!
I almost fall for it, allthough I am a software engineer myself...
Here is the deal:
The fake message sender will be probably: "service@https-paypal.com"
Then the contents of the email is something like that:
"PayPal rewards the best customers with generous bonuses this christmas".
And at the end you find the link, leading to the fake site:
http://https-paypal.com
When I check who is the Administator of this fake website(in http://whois.ws)- someone "James...", needless to say nothing to do with paypal Inc.
Thanks and BEWARE!
It's christmas soon and such scams are epidemy...

Thanks! I hate these things. Because I know that my poor mom would probably fall for it.
