Hey
I received mails form Paypal. But I don’t know if they’re a scam or not, bcs i gave my mail to someone I shouldn’t have.
So I want to know if they’re a scam or from Paypal itself.
Thanks!

Hey @Jetsk & @yvngworld,
Thank you for posting and welcome to the PayPal Community Forum.
I understand receiving emails you are unsure about can be very concerning.
Fake emails, also known as phishing emails, attempt to collect your personal and financial information. These fake emails often link to fake websites that encourage you to enter personal information such as credit card numbers, passport or driver’s license numbers, and account passwords.
You can always see your payment in your PayPal account balance. If you receive an email saying that you've received a payment, always log into PayPal at www.paypal.com (don't click on any links in the email) and check your account balance there.
The same would apply to if you received an email regarding a limitation.
For further information on this, see: How do I spot and report a fake, fraudulent, or phishing PayPal email or website?
Click Security at the bottom of any PayPal page to learn more about fake emails and websites and online safety.
I hope this helps. Have a nice day.
Rebecca
