RE: [inbox] [Full-Disclosure] Is this a paypal scam?

["Dolinar, Jon" <Jon.Dolinar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Actually a WHOIS of the address returns a site in China so unless Paypal
was outsourced I would guess a scam.

If you want to see what the page is telnet to port 80 and do a GET
/verify.html it is a javascript from the site but using graphics and
links from paypal.com

An invalid get returns the server: Apache/1.3.14 Server at net2M.dsd.cc
Port 80

Be cluefull:

1) Don't ever click a link with an ip address.
2) Don't ever put your cc info into any site you did not directly go to
and trust.
3) nslookup 218.62.43.30 - Non-existent domain
   nslookup paypal.com - 64.4.241.16
