Hello @Ra1ph51

 

Welcome to the PayPal Community Forum and thank you for your post. 

 

I understand you would like to report an email address that may be posing as PayPal. 

 

If in doubt about any email you have received please forward the email to phishing@paypal.com and then delete it from your mailbox.

 

Remember, we'll only ever ask you to enter personal details on the secure PayPal website after you've safely logged in to your PayPal account.

 

To learn more about online safety, go to www.paypal.com and click Security near the bottom of the page.

 

For information on this, please see: All about fake emails or websites (paypal.com) and How do I spot and report a fake PayPal email or website? 

 

I hope this helps, have a lovely day!
