Their site also has an AOL credit card verifier. Very sad :(. This really hurts ecommerce.

It is a little over a month old. PayPal sent out a warning when the first of those started showing up.

Notice the url above (slightly obfuscated). It incluse a "password/login" redirect that takes you to a different site.

Thanks Brett. I figured it must have been noticed already but better to err on the side of caution.
