Re: PayPal.com phish scam, help me!

Thanks, I'm meticulously checking my system right now. I've checked my hosts file and as many places as I can to see DNS server settings, and they appear to be normal. The only way I could think that they could do this is by modifying DNS settings somewhere. I tried accessing the resolved name you gave, and it still seems to try www.paypal.com. The front page looks legit, but I can't be certain. It looks like their customer service just closed. Hopefully I can get in contact with someone tommorow. If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to them. Could they have hijacked something on the server end?

Their site looks fine on my end, and the address bar shows the green hilite that means it's cert. confirmed the address.

If you're using Firefox you can right-click on the page you get and select View Page Info, then confirm that the identity in the General tab. With IE, right click and select Properties, then check the Certificates button.

You may have been rootkit'd, start here for checking your machine out: »Security Cleanup FAQ »Mandatory Steps Before Requesting Assistance

ETA: Paypal's server doesn't answer pings. Don't worry about that, the IP is the main thing.
