I just wanted to share this scam email I got, I originally looked at it on my phone and almost fell for it because I didn't see the other emails, or the clearly fake paypal email clearly enough at the time. It wasn't until I got onto my computer and logged onto my actual paypal through my bookmark that I realized the differences. The button sends you to a convincing log in screen that looks exactly like the real paypal log in, thankfully I realized the differences before I attempted a log in. I just wanted to throw this out there before someone fell for it, or at least got as close as I did after seeing it on my phone.

Hello @WilliamFS, @Swam,
Welcome to the PayPal Community and thank you for reporting that email! It looks like those links provided in the previous message do not link to an actual Help Center article, my apologies there. Here's the Help Center article you may find useful: How do I spot and report a fake PayPal email or website?
I hope that helps and have a great day!
