I just received phishing scam email disguised as PayPal.
I noticed that the email connected to a page that used a unique way of covering the actual web address in the browser address bar using javascript and a favicon image.
If you open a new browser window, the phishing scam address remains on top of the new window.
A dead giveaway of a scam.
