Is this email from Paypal a spam?

Hello Paypal.

I have just received the following email, and I think it is a spam.

It seems is spam but I would like to confirm it. May I know if it is or not?

Thank you very much in advance.

Kind regards,

Isaac

This is not Paypal, its a community help forum, but yes its a spoof.

The email addressed you as Dear Customer 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 which there is.

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.
