I have just received an email from PayPal asking me to update my account. Problem is that it was headed by www.jamresgwee. It seemed odd to me. Is it?

Sorry don't click on links but >>>
You’ll know that an email is not from PayPal when:
- The email uses a generic greeting like ‘Dear user’ or ‘Hello, PayPal member.’ We'll always address you by your first and last name or the business name on your PayPal account.
- The email requests financial and other personal information. A real email from us will never ask for your bank account number, debit or credit card number etc. Also we'll never ask for your full name, your account password, or the answers to your PayPal security questions in an email.
- The email asks you to provide the tracking number of a dispatched item, before you've received the payment into your PayPal account
- The email includes a software update to install on your computer.
