Good call out! Yes, that is the one exception.
How are we supposed to help posters recognize the difference between spoofed and email addresses if we can explain the details. Many see the spoofed address and overlook the real one, as might have happened here if the poster had described the real email address? That is what I was getting at. What the poster saw may well have been a spoofed address.
It does present a little difficulty, but it's a necessary measure. A posted email address may be a malicious person's email in an attempt to pretend to be PayPal, or it may be someone's stolen email address that a fraudster is using, or it may be someone's own email address that they are posting without realizing that they are opening themselves to potential fraudulent activity. Sometimes it's possible to tell by looking, but many times it isn't. For that reason, no email addresses may be posted at all, with the exception of the spoof@paypal.com address.
A person can always send any suspicious email to spoof@paypal.com to allow it to be checked out by the review team.
