Hi IanGlen,

Welcome to the community forum and thanks for posting.

I can confirm that this is not a genuine PayPal email. When we contact you we will always use your name as it appears on your PayPal account and if a payment has been made you will see it in your account activity.

Here are some other tips you can use to tell if an email is really from us https://www.paypal.com/gb/selfhelp/article/how-can-i-tell-if-an-email-is-genuinely-from-paypal--faq2... .

I hope this helps.
