Scam through email- Where do I report it?

Hi there,

 

A weird email came through to a slightly wrong email (mine) from what looks like the official UK paypal email. It's really fishy, someone I don't know sent me money with a strange statement with it and missing my full name like normal statements. I was wondering if there was anywhere I should report this because it looks like its coming from the official email or if I should just delete it.

 

Thanks for your help!

Hi, 


I also received an e-mail with the exact amounts of payments. from <removed>

When I followed the link to 'claim' my payments it said funds transferred, but the balance remained on zero. Now the same link says the transactions doesn't exist and there's no transaction history on my account.

 

The link for the other payment is also not working now.
