Suspicious email, not sure if it's actually from Paypal

[KeviKev]

Here's the email I received. Instead of clicking the link, I logged directly into the Paypay website and found no messages or alerts for me regarding this. I just want to be sure this email didn't actually come from Paypal. Thanks.

If its a spoof, DO NOT USE ANY LINK.

Firstly if the email/ text addressed you as ''Dear Member'' / ''Customer'' / ''Client'' OR your ''email address'' then that confirms its a spoof as paypal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith.

Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email to ''cancel'' the transaction or ''confirm'' any details then again it would be a spoof.

If there was a problem with your account paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email or by downloading an attachment, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.

If you log into your paypal account NORMALLY and nothing shows in your paypal account then that kinda answers the question really.
