Is artlina.net legit or a scam?
A malicious PayPal phishing clone created 100 days ago that uses fake login forms and countdown timers to harvest user credentials.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Phishing site — do not log in
A PayPal login is shown on an unrelated domain — classic credential-harvest pattern. This page looks designed to steal credentials. Don't log in — and if you already did, change the password anywhere you reused it and turn on two-factor authentication.
