Where is the link to login to the scammer's fake Paypal site?
Without that, wouldn't anyone just login to their Paypal account and see there is no money there? That must be too complicated for them.
The logo and other normal places don't link anywhere. Only his email address was hotlinked to anything.
And you're right, of course: most savvy people would just log into their account to verify if the money was actually there. But from first hand experience, if the volume of sales is large, you generally don't check each payment to see if it landed. I think that's where they're making their money: the one-in-1000 that don't check it and simply mail the item.
What blows my mind, though, is: given the well-known bad name that Nigeria has, how could anyone send anything to anyone in Nigeria? The name alone now just screams scam.
