Truth in phishing

I just received an e-mail purporting to be from PayPal, warning me that my credit card is about to expire and advising me to click on a link to update my account — the usual phishing scam that we're all exposed to. What's charming about this particular phishing attempt is the domain name contained in the return address: "service@paypal.con." I guess that's what you call a Freudian slip.
