I typed that url into FF and the Netcraft toolbar blocked it as they had it listed as a phishing site.

If you have FF why not get Netcraft phishing toolbar. It protects you against most phishing urls & gives you a Risk Rating for sites

Thank you, Have now downloaded both. F/F & Netcraft phishing toolbar.

Ah, yes. I was just going on the URL supplied, i.e. https://www.paypal.com/row/wf/f=ap_email , which of course is a genuine PayPal one. I didn't consider that by copying and pasting it PHPBB would make the text URL one and the same

.

Naturally with any email I always look at the source code to check the validity of the URL.

bottom line, never ever log in to anything that requires personal information like financial details, etc.. linked directly from an email, always type it in yourself.

If I ever get any mail from either EBay or Paypal or any other site that has nothing to do with a particular transaction that I have made, I just ignore it.
