Phuck Phishing

Earlier on today I received this rather alarming email from PayPal:

Apple Mail didn't report it as Junk, so it's obviously not spam and the email address it has been sent to has a PayPal account registered to it; must be legitimate.

Let's not hover over the link and see where it goes. It's clearly going to paypal.com, because it says so! Just like this link indiciates it doesn't go to goatse... notGoatse.com.

Oh, sorry, I said I wasn't going to hover over the link.. what a fucking idiot I am... Let's click it anyway.

Let's look at the above site.

Firstly, if you look at the red ring, you'll notice that you're not actually at PayPal.com. Weird, huh?

Secondly, nothing happens when you click on any of the links on the page.

C (I'm bored of the numbering...) -- and this point I actually like -- check out the pink ring. If you type something in there, it actually submits the search to paypal.com. Now you can just press the "Back" button on your web-browser of choice and type your details in, like the good idiot you are.

Clearly this is PayPal.com! The email told me it was... the links on the page don't work... it doesn't say PayPal.com in the address bar... yep, I'm fucking stupid enough to type my details in!

I just want to say one thing. If you're stupid enough to get caught by these phuckers, you deserve all that's coming to you. I'll retract this statement as soon as I get caught by a really good one that offers lifetime access to free porn, as long as I type in my bank details, social security number, date of birth, current address, pin numbers and so forth.
