Hi @Adrian118 

 

Thank you for reaching out to PayPal Community and for informing this to us. Upon reading the content of the email, i can confirm that it is not a legit email from PayPal based from how you were addressed on the email, the urgency for you to respond to the email and I also believe that there is a link provided on the statement "Click Here TO Verify Now". We advise you not to click on any links provided and also to forward the email to Spoof@paypal.com and we’ll investigate it for you. After you send us the email, delete it from your inbox. You can also check these pages for more information. Hope this helps. Keep safe!
