Email stating my account was entere in italy

[Grooover]

I have received an email saying my account was attempted to be entered in Italy...I am always wary of opening these.  Having logged into my account I do not have any alerts or messages informing me of this.

would I get a notification in my account?

If its a spoof then DO NOT USE ANY LINKs.

Firstly if the email addressed you as ''Dear Member'' / ''Customer'' / ''Client'' OR your ''email address'' then that confirms its a spoof as paypal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith.

Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email to ''cancel'' the transaction or ''confirm'' any details then again it would be a spoof.

If there was a problem with your account paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email or by downloading an attachment, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.
