Tulo Posted October 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 It's fake. Every link on the log in page they link you to sends you right back to that log in page. That log in page seems like it is a paypal address though... Pretty sneaky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
