I got another Paypal phishing attempt today (I get about one every week :-) ).
The interesting thing about this attempt is that the phisher seems to
be using a dynamic DNS service to gain the trust from the victim.
In this case the html link was pointing to http://www.paypal.25u.com
which doesn't seem to resolve at this moment.
www.paypal.25u.com does of course look more legitimate than some
random IP address in which the word "paypal" is not included.
