There's a simple way to figure out if you've received a PayPal SCAM e-mail.
PayPal always addresses their e-mail messages to the account holder's full name.
If you get a "message" from PayPal and it is addressed to your e-mail or ebay user id, then it's some sort of SCAM.
Don't click on any of the links, just forward the message to "fraud@paypal.com" and delete the message from your inbox.
It's just that simple to detect a PayPal PHISHING SCAM. Don't let yourself become a victim of these malicious SCAMMERS!
It's always a good practice to report each message to PayPal, so they can shut the SCAMMER down. As an ebay community, hopefully, we can shut down new PHISHING SCAMS as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, there's always another SCAMMER out there to continue plying their malicious trade!
