This email was sent to me claiming that there was suspicious activity in my account and telling me to login to verify the suspicious activity. Just wanted to make sure that this is indeed a FAKE email and not authorized by PayPal? Thanks!

 The email is: intl-servcka at outlook.com

You will know an email is not from PayPal when:

•The email uses a generic greeting like 'Dear user' or 'Hello, PayPal member’.
•The email requests financial and other personal information.
•The email includes an attachment, a software update to install on your computer.

 

Send it to spoof@paypal.com
