Got a notice from PP... I Think.

Just got this email from PP. Looks suspicious so I'm not filling in the info it asks for.

 

But I can't find any place to confirm or report it. 

When I click on the link it takes me to the "log in page of PP" (supposedly) but the url says transworldchemicals instead of paypal. 

 

So if you get something like this, beware.


Here's the email.

Check the real email address of the sender, not the visiible spoofed email address.

 

Also, log onto your PayPal account directly and look for private PayPal messages.

 

Never click on links in strange emails as they are intended to collect your private information.
