Here’s a URL used in one I saw today:
http://www.paypal.com7cgi-bin-webscr-LOGON-ID-LOGON-sec-user241756.gsecure.net.jikao.com.tw/.https://www.paypal.com/
(Don’t go there!)
That’s a long link, it starts with www.paypal.com, and it has words like “secure” in it. But visitor beware: the domain name is jikao.com.tw, not paypal.com!
Reported to Gmail as phishing.

What is a challenge/response spam filter?
When an incoming email arrives in your inbox, the spam filtering service hides it from you. It sends an automatic reply to the “From” address of the email, requesting that they respond to verify that the email sent was not spam.
