Payment was made from an foreign ip address, PayPal phishing scam



Here is a phishing scam we have been seeing lately, forwarded message is pasted below. Notice the email payment was allegedly sent to host@hostyan.com and the link given to cancel the transaction is not PayPal (pdidhjknmn.com). This is an email sent to people from a spoofed email (services@paypal.web.com). Anyone can disregard it. This payment was not sent to us, and you can log into your billing account to see.

From:
Date: 2009/9/16
Subject: *Payment initiated*
To: joe123@domain.tld

You have initiated a payment for $24.00 USD to host@hostyan.com.

*Payment details*
Amount: $24.00 USD
Transaction ID: 5C53687F7327933R

Because the payment was made from an foreign ip address, we put the transaction ID 5C53687F7327933R on hold.

To cancel this payment, please follow the link below:
*Cancel Transaction ID 5C53687F7327933R*.
