Realize that everything *before* the ampersand (@) in this url is
utterly irrelevant:

http://www.paypal.com.cgi-bin.webscr.cmd=_rav-for@211.59.7.86:278/index.htm

Thus this reduces to:

211.59.7.86:278/index.htm


[jsage@sparky /storage/virii] $ lynx -head -dump
  http://211.59.7.86:278/index.htm

So there's something there... let's see what:

[jsage@sparky /storage/virii] $ lynx -source
  http://211.59.7.86:278/index.htm |less

All the above is bogus..
..and here's where the mischief begins:
/* snip */
<TABLE align=center border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width=600>
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD class=ppheading width="100%">Random Account Verification</TD>

Here's where the deed is done...
