I received one of these email this morning and checked on PayPal and this transaction is not listed anywhere.  The email looks conviencing but there are a few items that drew my attention.  The FROM address is all wrong, as is the TO address.  I checked the detials of the email and discovered this as the largest clue  My first and last name is not used in the email, PayPal typically adds in your account's profile real name  The Description field in the transaction is blank, just unit price and Qty and amounts are listed  The merchant, Spotify, is listed twice with emails to their support address and a cancel now link provided as well as the PayPal UK help site.
