Paypal Security & Domain names with Paypal.

Paypal -- you are making a mistake with your domain name structure.

 

One of my main ways to identify scams:  An email that comes from one well known domain, but has links that take it to another domain.

So today I got an email from mail.paypal.com about new policy changes that would take me to epl.paypal-communication.com.

 

Sorry.  No clicky.

 

Except that you actually *do* stuff like this.  How do I tell the real ones from the scams?

 

Since you own paypal.com, it's hard for a scammer to use it.  So this site where I'm writing right now, should be moved from paypal-community.com to community.paypal.com.  The policy page to epl-communication.paypal.com
