That's how they do it for the paypal scam, if you only copy the link that is visible, it takes you to a 404 page
good call

I guess it's better when a scammer is incompetent. I'm sure if they had done it correctly, it would lead to some page asking you to verify your banking info.
Scarry shit, I'll bet a ton of people would fall for that if it was done right.
