The same goes with Ebay and other well-known online services.

However I've never encountered the misspelling domains so far but I normally get stuff like that:

http://www.paypal.com@123.53.34.83/somedir

The IP above indicated does not reflect a real one...

the frontend looks then like the normal login section to the according service.

To report such spoof emails write to: spoof@paypal.com

Edit: I posted the same warning some time ago on GFY... I just wonder why I didn't post it here also...
