    I wrote about this over here - Should I be Worried?
    basically, I got a receipt from Paypal today, and the history links at the bottom were miles out -

    Yes, it looks like a SCAM. I have gotten several of these before. Whatever you do, do NOT login with the link they give you. They are using a fake email address that looks like its from PayPal, but its not.

    .. THe payment was totally legit, it was the right receipt for a payment I did just make to Yahoo. Just the link was wrong, and if you click it (as I did, to check) , it goes nowhere. I think it's an error, not a spam email.
