If you have a browser that shows what a link is before you click it (by hovering the mouse over the link in Firefox, it shows up along the bottom info bar), you can see that the PayPal logon link is to some random IP address. So instead of seeing "https://www.paypal.com/" you'll see something like this:

203.177.100.xxx:82/paypal/

This is a real one I have, except the xxx was actually 115. Notice that it's for port 82, a non-standard port, too.
