I have received what looks like a legitimate email from PayPal
but it's asking me to update details that I have already updated.
It's not asking me to click any links though.
I tried forwarding it to phishing@paypal.com but it bounced back
with "Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 550 Message contained unsafe content (Heuristics.Phishing.Email.SpoofedDomain)
Maybe the email address ( ignoring ****) is a bad one because I couldn't post the title in it's original form.

I didn't realise the email address in the title was masked.
Wondered why I received such a reply.
Thanks for the tip but replies from support are almost non existent.
To play it safe I will just ignore any email from PayPal.
