Dodgy

Seems dodgy to me -
1. All of the links on the page send you back to this page (including "Security Center")
2. Hosted by Geocities
3. Verisign link doesn't work
4. "About SSL Certificates" doesn't work
5. Tabs at top don't work
6. Contains 3 embedded Cascaded Scripts hidden in the title!!!!!!!!!!!

I've e-mailed Yahoo asking if they are receiving a share of the proceeds.

Only one of a long list of Paypal spoofs, most get hammered shut in a few hours though, as for Yahoo don't hold your breath, even the FBI could do nothing with em over this problem or others including reams of porn and pedo sites, they seem to operate in a world of there own, I guess when you get that big even government agancies can be put on 'Ignore'.
