I was trying to get to www.xe.com but by mistake I typed www.x.com and it loaded a screen up saying "Processing Login..." with the paypal logo above and then it switched to what looks like a PayPal homepage... Is this Fake?

When you type it in google it says -

Quote:
PayPal - Welcome
Payment service allows users to send money and bills to anyone with e-mail.
www.paypal.com/

I'd like to know too. It looks real to me...

Pretty sure it's just a legit redirect. Has all the certificates for paypal.

Maybe it was a Fake site, But PayPal had it changed so it directed people that went to it to the official paypal site

Dont use any site other than paypal

I have looked at this now, and it does look like a legit re-direct, but why take any chances ?
