I recieved an email from support@paypal.com today, and it had a picture:

Smile The URL link is http://62.129.221.177/forum/images/logo.gif, some Polish site with some forum (can't read it tho Neutral).

When you press the "Dispute Transaction" you go into http://216.94.170.94/phpBB2/files/us/paypal/webscr/cancelpayment/webscr.htm
It's like a clone of paypal. Check out the fake files here: http://216.94.170.94/phpBB2/files/us/paypal/webscr/cancelpayment/

Basicly it asks you to fill all that sort of info etc... and of course - your credit card. So if you recieved this shit beware!

I checked that ip 216.94.170.94 and it's in Mississauga (Canada), but if you go to http://216.94.170.94/ you can see that it's some Phone company :\ So it's pretty confusing :\

Cool eh ? Smile I wonder if someone of you got this email too Very Happy

P.S. I wonder what's that GenValidator :\


About Hitman: Movie (2007)
Vin Diesel is a hardcore gamer, and absolutely loves the Hitman series. For that reason I have faith that he wont destroy the movie.

Response: Well, Uwe Boll probably loved the Alone in the Dark games.

Lots of ppl having been running scams (telemarketing, internet etc) outta Sauga recently (Mississauga). I wonder what the deal is? Seen lots of shit in the local paper about it too.
Peel (Mississauga belongs to a region of city's, right beside toronto) cops must have their hands full with the upsurge in shootings, scams, drugs in Peel...
