uacelite- I can tell you that that email address is used by PayPal, so it was most likely a legitimate email. Of course, this doesn't mean that fraudsters won't try to use it which is probably why a search online turns up that it's fraudulent. One of the easier ways to see if it's legitimate is to hover over or click "Reply". That will give you the real email address it came from; if it's something that has absolutely nothing to do with PayPal, then I'd say that's a big clue. 😉
In addition, as nikkii_07 wrote, what the email says can go a long way towards pointing you towards fraudulent or not. Agent fees, transactions outside of PayPal, spelling and grammatical errors...all of these things would make me think twice no matter where the email purports to come from.
And toester is giving you some sound advice as well, if all else fails, give us a call. 🙂
Hope that answers your questions.
