you can tell they are fake, as the domain name gives it away, when you see where it came from. I always go to paypal to check, not through any 3 party web sites anyway.

You'd be surprised mate, so many people get scammed horrifically and I just don't know how they don't see it.

Thats true. I suppose people of our generation were bought up with the rise of the internet (i know it was about before but has obviously really taken off in the past 15 years) and thus the rise of these scams. Silver surfers probably don't recognise these at all!
