Yup.  Easy enough to tell from looking at the URL but Firefox also caught it as a forgery as well.

I get that email once or twice a week.  Scammers even too lazy to mix it up a bit anymore...

If you bid or sell on eBay, they harvest the 'aliases' and tackk on @hotmail.com, @yahoo.com, etc, and many get through.

You get those phishing emails from signing peoples guest books or posting your email address publicly

Pulls up a fake paypal login site in lower slabovia that tricks you to type in your login and password, then probably say sorry, wrong login and redirects to real paypal to try again (they logged your id and password for later).
