Hello, I received this email today. PayPaloddity.png

What really has me suspicious about it, is that the webpage it takes me to to verify my account isn't under the paypal url, nor is it secure.

Hi, @Palooka120

 

Based on your description that you are directed to a URL that isn't owned by PayPal, I would say that your instinct may be right. Great catch! Here are some more tips on what to look for when it comes to these emails: https://bit.ly/2GrN5SJ. You can forward any suspicious emails to spoof@paypal.com for our teams to review.

 

Thank you for reaching out!
