I wanted to pay by PayPal, but when I go the PayPal website, it feels like a
reroute to a fake site. But I'm not sure,
- http://www.paypal.com is a page-not-found
- http://paypal.com does show the homepage but my browser's security alert says

page-not-find on the contact pages. So I can't get to the emailadres for
security issues at PayPal.
Has anybody noticed the same problems? What is the emailadres of paypal's
security department?
