It is unreal but scammers keep on trying. Paypal's logo is the same as the original etc. But I always check the e-mail address and the underlying true e-mail address under the mask (paypal@...). Furthermore always check the link address to see what's under it. A further search and it is a WP site blocked by my AV. 

 

Take care guys!
