phishing@paypay.com is rejecting my forwarded suspicious emails

[brucejo75]

I am receiving spoof emails from service at paypal.com. I forward the suspicious emails to phishing@paypal.com and they get bounced.

bounce message:

Delivery has failed to these recipients or groups:

phishing@paypal.com (phishing@paypal.com)
Your message wasn't delivered because the recipient's email provider rejected it.

I am assuming because the phishing email is from service at paypal.com, it rejects it out of hand.

The phish has a phone number in it which is the hook.

I am  getting one of these emails daily. And I cannot report it (so Paypal can understand the scale of the problem).

c'mon Paypal!

I am having same issue. I tried to forward 3 today. 

As recently as last week I could forward them without rejection.

Hello Paypal Moderator,

You don't understand the problem here. The phishers are more clever. They can send very legitimate-looking emails from "service-at-paypal.com" with their scammy emails, so when we attempt to forward them to phishing-at-paypal.com, the email bounces. You see?

Thank you! It makes sense that they would reject emails sent from 'service-at-paypal.com'
Yet our phishers are more clever. My email server allows me to change the sent-from email to the embedded fake email, so now I can forward them without them bouncing. 

Paypal's response was not helpful.
