    Phisher warning

    Just a heads-up...

    Had a signup via 2CheckOut today, for email service from someone who clicked through from one of our posts here on WHT. 2CO flagged it as a high-risk transaction, and when we looked at the order closely, the user's email was "admin@paypai.net". The given address was in Massachusetts, while the IP was 80.97.176.192, which sure looks like Romania to me. Their phone number given was correct for the name on the card - an established architect in Mississippi. Doh. 2CO wound up approving the transaction pretty quickly, but we refunded and cancelled it, as it seemed too risky, especially once you check out http://www.paypai.net.

    Since he/she/it came through WHT, thought I'd mention it, just in case anyone else sees this. I'm undecided as to whether the IP is spoofed, or if the card + # are stolen, but either way don't want anything to do with it.
