Fake PayPal Email

Hiya,

I just received this email

Quote:
Please verify your information today!
Dear Paypal Member.

Your account has been randomly flagged in our system as a part of our routine security measures. This is a must to ensure that only you have access and use of your paypal account and to ensure a safe Paypal experience. We require all flagged accounts to verify their information on file with us. To verify your information, click here and enter the details requested. After you verify your information, your account shall be returned to good standing and you will continue to have full use of your account.

Thank you for using PayPal!

Please do not reply to this e-mail. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered.
The URL submitted in the Email is this:

Note the "@" sing!!!!

You can access password protected webpages and ftp servers through your browser like this:

http://USERNAME:[email protected]
ftp://USERNAME:[email protected]

So the given URL will go to this IP address: 211.113.186.42 and the www.paypal.com before the @ is there just to trick people into believing it's a paypal.com site!
