Hi All,
An email appears to be going out telling users that someone has just sent them 200.00. Please note that the embedded link is different than the ones that come from PayPal. Please be wary if someone sends money to you that is not part of an auction that you have run. I have taken out the name in the event that there is another issue with it.
xxxxxxxxxhas just sent you money with PayPal.
Amount: $200.00
Simply click <a href=http://payxpal3.cjb.net>http://www.PayPal.com/links/uni</a> and complete the one-page registration form to claim your money. For a limited time, if you sign up and activate your account, you will receive a $5 New Account Bonus.
You may withdraw your money at any time by requesting a check or making a direct deposit to your bank account. You can also send the money to your friends.
PayPal lets users send money to anyone with an email address. Use PayPal.com to settle restaurant tabs with colleagues, pay friends for movie tickets, or buy a baseball card at an online auction. You can also send personalized money requests to your friends for a group event or party.
X.com's backers include Nokia Ventures, Madison Dearborn Partners, Qualcomm, Sequoia Capital, Deutsche Bank, idealab Capital Partners and Goldman Sachs. Our state-of-the-art encryption provides the highest level of security.

cjb.net will kill it quickly. Ask them to look for ANY variant of Paypal in their site (these sleazeballs usually set up several identical sites becvause they know they will get killed off quickly)
http://www.geocities.com/payxxpal3/ is the parent site. Kill it too.
