> This sent alarm-bells ringing in my
> head.... I'm sure if it was really from
> Paypal, they would send me to sub-directory
> of www.paypal.com - not to this new
> site.

> In order to check it out, I went to
> www.betterwhois.com to find out who owns
> paypal-ebay.com.... Suffice to say, this was
> NOT Paypal - so it most likely definitely IS
> a scam.

> If you get this email, ignore it! And if
> you've gone to the site already and put in
> your Paypal username and password, then go
> back to www.paypal.com and immediately
> change your password. My guess is they
> probably want your Paypal username and
> password, so they can then log in and
> transfer the money out of your account....

> (The site seems to be down now, so maybe
> it's already been caught....)

> Where do you report this kind of thing?

> I've put the info for paypal-ebay.com below,
> so you can see it is NOT Paypal, but is most
