yeah that's dodgier than a Dodge collector's garage.

the usual giveaway is poor english. this is better than the usual standard, but still - "If we do not receive the appropriate account verification within 48 hours, then we will assume this PayPal account is fraudulent and will be suspended." - it seems a tad foolish for paypal themselfs to just assume it would be suspended, surely they'd suspend it themselfs?
