Paypal scammer alert: WOMENEXE@AOL.COM
Watch out for this guy, he signed up from an AOL IP (172.172.22.116), using the email WOMENEXE @ AOL.COM.
He's running a PayPal scam directing people to a phpwebhosting.com account:
http://67.19.13.194/~miiooplak/updat...ount/login.htm
His last access was from 62.101.126.231

The person has created a fake PayPal web site for the purpose of defrauding unsuspecting visitors.

Not my company, but a company called "phpwebhosting.com".
Basically, the fraudster e-mails people pretending to be from PayPal instructing people to login to that website (the fake one) to update their PayPal accounts. Most people don't fall for this, but occasionally some people do and their accounts are usually stolen.
