Guys - this is the real app. PayPal has had this app for like six months. The facebook platform crashed last night. It's not a scam. Be careful when making conclusions like this.

The app is legit - there's also a link to it from PayPal's sponsored group on Facebook:
Don't be so quick to shout about it being fake. While the pages look very, very suspect, I got an email from PayPal announcing this application, which would have been very hard to fake. It had my full name (admittedly not hard to find) and a link to http://email1.paypal.co.uk/u.d?FmZyqfnpcUb3zsLl... , which redirects to https://www.paypal-marketing.co.uk/facebook/ . If somebody has hacked PayPal's redirect system, then Facebook apps are the least of our worries.
If it is a scam, someone has gone to some monumental effort. I'm more inclined to think that someone at PayPal just screwed up and set off all the wrong alarms on our ends, though.

Wow, how can you condemn a legit app like that? This app has been around for months. Shouldn't you confirm with PayPal first? It is borderline unethical. You may want to take this off before PayPal comes after you for damages.

Also, a WHOIS on www.paypal.com and www.paypal-marketing.co.uk come up more or less the same.
