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
the https certificate is meant for *www*.paypal.com instead
- if I try to contact Paypal or file a Fake Site problem via that site, I get
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?

Hi eric,

Both those URLs (correctly) redirect to their secure site
https://www.paypal.com/

Maybe it was a temporary problem. Are you sure you didn't click the link from a
fake email?

Hey,

I also went to the site "http://www.paypal.com" and the page loads correctly and
I had no problem with the security on the site.  Perhaps it WAS a temperary
problem, but I didn't have any problem.  Try it again and perhaps it will work.
