Paypal Hoax Alert

My buddy Ward Willats got an email purporting to be from “PayPal” claiming that one’s account was disabled until you logged into “paypal-ebay.com” and reset it. Heh.

Ward scryed into the headers of the email, and says:

…and it is a fraud — look at the headers, it came from the mailserver ‘casino-fun.com’ and ownership of the “paypal-ebay.com” domain belongs to one Justin Young who seems to be doing a colo at rackshack.com according to whois.

The paypal-bay.com site is down, hopefuly someone at rackshack.com unplugged it.

Such lovely people out there. Where’s my death ray?

Update: Cam got the email as well and posts it sans-headers.
