New Paypal phish contains fake order and payment details to mislead receiver

At MX Lab we intercept quite often very good phishing emails. This newest PayPal phishing email came to our attention because it contains a false order and payment transaction in order to mislead the intented receiver.

The intented receiver will open such a message and notice that a payment has been done towards, in this case, the account robertoelectronics for $440. Of course, the receiver will try to stop this transaction and use the Dispute Transaction link further down below.

Here is where the phishing starts. The URL points to a site hosted on a server with IP address hxxp://201.116.109.181/www.paypal.com/us/webscr.html?cmd=_login-run.

Be aware that with such messages you should be extra carefull. Take a look at the senders from address but more important where the URLs are leading to.
