Receipt for your payment to Skype Phishing

Phishing attempt against Paypal users. Phishers send a phishing email that appears to be from Paypal and ask to confirm transaction information. You sent a payment of [] to Skype. If you haven't authorized this charge you can visit Paypal help center to get a full refund. However, the anchor text of the given URL is misleading.

Phishing website: http://www.qingshan-edu.com/p/info/index.html
Return email address: paypalferdiloun@narvitam.com
