Ok...So it appears I'm late to the party?
I've never had a problem connecting to PayPal until now, and I don't have a problem actually connecting. I do however get the 'Threat Secured" "connection aborted" when trying to access a payment link I created.
I just created a payment button and tried to use the email link and I'm getting the phishing error. It's for someone else, I just wanted to test it first because I'm using a redirect from my site (to send a pretty link).
