Got a great one today pointing to paypalusinfo.com
even uses SSL althought the certificate seems home made.
10/10 for effort. 0/10 for collecting details.

Nice one, Jim - thanks for the heads-up.

Well spotted, I'll watch for that :)

Hmmm the site is still up, I advised the paypal hit
team, but maybe the hosting company don't work
on a Sunday which is probably why they do it them

The certificate is issued to

E = Abayomi@yahoo.com
CN = imadoline.win.aplus.net
OU = marketing
O = rendy and co
L = lawrenceburg
S = Indiana
C = US

I guess its possible to set the browser security settings to ignore
unsigned certificates.

The message with Firefox explains the situation much better
than the MS equivalent.

I have always said that you should have to provide ID when registering a
domain. That way the domain can be easily traced back to a person...Also,
there should be a legal notice saying that YOU are responsible for the
content of the domain. It is time to hold people accountable...
