Re: Is this a paypal scam?

["ja6.com" <maillist () ja6 com>]

Hmm, a quick search of ARIN (www.arin.net) and the APNIC (www.apnic.net)
reveals this IP is in CHINA. Unless PayPal is hosting servers in China, I would guess it is a scam.
Also seems kinda suspect that the IP does not have a reverse lookup assigned to it if it is valid.

For example one of Paypal's front end servers is 64.4.231.34 and resolves to www.paypal.com.

I wouldn't send them anything, but thats just me.
