FW: [SPAM] Your account ownership verification

One way to detect that this message is fraudulent is to turn off images in
your email client! Otherwise, the images shows up as legitimate url's.
Also make sure that any visible link is genuine, and does not redirect you
to another website (usually this sites are innocent sites being hijacked by
the fraudster)
Notice below this link:
<http://forum.sadov.com/images/smilies/paypal/www.paypal.com
2009/www.paypal.com 2009/www.paypal.com 2009/www.paypal.com/us/index.html>

Probably belongs to an innocent site: forum.sadov.com, which has been
hacked/hijacked. (I will not rule out entirely the possibility of the site
owner being the fraudster though)

When u receive such mails, apart from contacting the company involved (in
this case, paypal) you may go further and inform the hijacked site owner.
