Paypal -- you are making a mistake with your domain name structure.
One of my main ways to identify scams: An email that comes from one well known domain, but has links that take it to another domain.
So today I got an email from mail.paypal.com about new policy changes that would take me to epl.paypal-communication.com.
Sorry. No clicky.
Except that you actually *do* stuff like this. How do I tell the real ones from the scams?
Since you own paypal.com, it's hard for a scammer to use it. So this site where I'm writing right now, should be moved from paypal-community.com to community.paypal.com. The policy page to epl-communication.paypal.com
