The above email address is the real email address of the sender.

 

The look and feel of the mail seems very legit but the email id is very suspicious. And the redirect email also seems like fraudulent.

First it is going to, 

<removed>

 

Then it is redirecting to,

<removed>

 

And it is asking everything from paypal account details to bank account details, to card details to address of my home. just to verify the account. I stopped when it asked for card details and bank details

I don't believe this can be real as I've received exactly the same email, with exactly the same amount, address in the note and transaction ID 

 

Does anyone have any other information? I note that the other links are correct, not sure about the link redirect to 'fix' the problem however

I can confirm that the above mail is a Phishing website and that its 100% fraudulent so please do not enter anything on that website so if in case you have entered anything in that website. Immediately change all those details in any other websites that you may have entered ASAP.

ITS NOT REAL... If you look at the link the blue button sends you too is not paypal. For me its rebrand... I have no idea what rebrand is so I won't be clicking it to see any farther. If you have clicked the link please run a full scan on your system to check for any rootkits or keyloggers and change your password. Personally I havn't clicked the rebrand link and I am still in the process of doing a full virus scan as I type this (2 hours left Smiley LOL ). Just wanted to post this here for anyone confused if this is real or fake and too try and keep everyone safe.

 

Thanks Have a Great Day!
