The fake site looked completely like the original site without https:// remember to check the mails carefully and look over the security certificate too.
A good tip off would be the fact that the address of "paypal-paymant" is spelled wrong. Then too, the originating IP is in Canada.

The link is now dead.

PayPal phishing emails should be reported to spoof@paypal.com. You'd be surprised at how fast they can shut down the phishing site!

All phishing emails can be sent to reportphishing@antiphishing.org

Expand the headers and FORWARD the email to both addresses.
