[CAUTION: Nasty bogus misdirection occurs in address above. A mouseover makes it seem like address is 213.186.58.53/paypal, whatever that is supposed to mean, but it is actually ns31046.ovh.net/paypal/ where bad things could happen. Don't go there, unless you want to send these badboys some trash.]
Thank You.

Were the friendly folks who sent this nasty little email really thinking I would foolishly click on their bogus link, ending up at http://ns31046.ovh.net/paypal/ and, ignoring the non-secure non-PAYPAL URL, then execute a form at http://www.i-st.net/cgi-bin/web2mail.cgi which seems to send an email, presumably with what ever PAYPAL name and password I provide, to faktap@excite.com ? Even without coffee and freaked out at the thought of two-headed turtles I'm smart enough to ignore this nonsense. You?
