Hello,
I'm frequently receiving spam-mails from a pseudo-paypal adress which is a variant of this
<removed> ... (rest of this mail I am not allowed to enter here..)
It generally tells me that there was recent activity on my account and it has now been limited. The mail comes with an attachment which I of course never downloaded/clicked. These spoof mails are sent to an email address which is no longer the email of my paypal account but previously was. There have not been any problems otherwise like unwanted transactions and that sort of stuff.

I looked up Paypal's suggested procedure for dealing with such spam and forwarded some of the mails to spoof@paypal.com .
I should add that the phishing-mails with 'recent activity' are - at least that was the case yesterday - quite correct when it comes to my paypal activity.
I received automatic confirmation emails regarding the spoofs I forwarded from two different mail addresses:
1 and mostly: <removed>
2: spoof@paypal.com
Is the first support email address (<removed>-...) LEGIT? The text in it is the same as from spoof@paypal.com though slightly less edited and with no address. In both mails the company data at the bottom reads
Copyright © 1999-2014 PayPal. Alle Rechte vorbehalten. PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. & Cie, S.C.A.
which is odd in terms of date, but maybe I'm getting too suspicious here.
Thanks for any helpful reply to this.
