Hi @Jessiemay210! Great catch! Thanks for spreading the word to help other PayPal customers stay safe! 😄 To follow up, I wanted to share some additional things that may indicate the email is a phishing email:
Generic email greetings: We’ll always address you by your first and last name.
Attachments: We’ll never email you attachments or software updates.
Deceptive URLs or false links.
Wrong, out of date or out of place logos, design and type.
Upsetting or urgent statements demanding you react immediately.
Bad spelling and grammar.
Requests for financial or personal information.
Amazing, too good to be true offers.
When someone receives a phishing email that poses to be from PayPal, we want to know about it! Here's how to report the message to us and what to do after:
Do not change the subject line and do not forward the message as an attachment.
Forward the email to spoof@paypal.com.
Delete the email from your inbox.

Thanks!
