...help with legal problems. (Lundy was convicted of bank fraud last year.) Records show that Roger deposited $100,000 in traveler's checks--some purchased in Venezuela.

Federal officials said the Russians tried to create a counterfeit website mimicking the real home page of PayPal, the popular online fund-transfer service. PayPal has been hit with such spoofs several times. When a fake site was operating, hackers e-mailed PayPal users and got them to click on a hyperlink with the spoof site's domain name: www.paypai.com On many computers, a capital I looks identical...
