"The scam works quite convincingly, by tricking users into accessing  
a URL hosted on the genuine PayPal web site. The URL uses SSL to  
encrypt information transmitted to and from the site, and a valid 256- 
bit SSL certificate is presented to confirm that the site does indeed  
belong to PayPal; however, some of the content on the page has been  
modified by the fraudsters via a cross-site scripting technique (XSS)."
