DonkeyKongerko Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 If you use one of these browsers, this link may work if you have international domain name support turned on. It is NOT the real Paypal but a spoofed website. This won't work on IE. Fake Paypal Real Paypal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonkeyKongerko Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 International character sets have alot of characters that look exactly like the Latin ones we use. The first link is actually for "http://www.p & #1072 ; ypal.com/" but it looks exactly the same and will direct you to the wrong site if your browser has IDN support. I recommend you turn off IDN if this happens. The full explanation is here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
