Okay people, a quick security heads-up for you:
Internet Explorer has a FLAW that allows a site at one address to display ANOTHER address in your browser's address bar! This can be exploited by fraudsters to scam people out of their PayPal/Ebay/whathaveyou login information.
Be VERY WARY of links to well-known sites you get sent in emails, or see on odd sites on the net, etc! They might not lead you to the place you expect!
Tip: usually, "hovering" the link with your mouse pointer will show you the real address in your browser's status bar (the grey space at the bottom of the window), but it doesn't always work. You can also right-click the link and select "properties" in the menu to see where it leads, if you're suspicious of it.
More info here, including a link to a site that demonstrates the exploit: http://arstechnica.com/news/posts/1071194883.html
Stay safe guys:
