I don't mean to be... Mean. Or to question your intelligence... I'm sure
there must be a reason for this, and I genuinely want to know how anyone
could think that was a link to PayPal.

I honestly want to know. I'm trying to understand how people get sucked into
these things, so I can try to help.

What in that link makes you wonder if it could be real? 

Is it the redirect.to.paypal.com part? 

Is it not understanding that domains start from the left just after the
http:// ? 

Is it having seen other links for advertisements where there is a redirector
to count the number of clicks?

What part of the information that everyone gets from PayPal ("always start
with https://www.paypal.com ") is not being understood?

Again, I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just can't think of a better way to
ask these questions.
