Angry Paypal scam email

I received one of those paypal email scams that takes me to an identical looking login page, except it doesnt have a htpps, only a http (and all the other hyperlinks don't work)

it is definately a scamming site.

does anybody know how i can find out more about this, you must be able to trace it's origin and the domain owner?

If anyone fancies the challenge, i can forward you the URL.

You can pass the email to paypals fraud department, but I don't botherv as I get one nearly everyday.

If the email doesn't name you, then it is definitely a fraud.

Never, use links from emails of this type to access web sites. Either keep it in your favourites or type it in.

They are getting better. Never, take any notice of paypal emails. If you are unsure there will be message left at the site. Always log in properly, NEVER by clicking links.
