Erm, try contacting paypal and asking?

Fake id say, if there were a problem they would phone you not email you.

Go to paypal by typing the address and see if theres anything there. if it looks normal then def fake.

Whatever you do, Do Not click the link!

right click on the link and select 'properties' does the link goto Paypal? If not then it's fake.

They will address you by name not 'paypal' user.

There have been fake emails with your name though

Your paypal number should always be correct on your account too as any issues they will ring you.

As AG says never clicks linsk any disputes can be seen by logging into your account normally.

SCAM!! forward to spoof@paypal.com they wil tell you if spoof or not hun and besides if it was true it would say your name not Paypal customer

i havent clicked anything, i figured id leave it and if my account got supended then id deal with it.

Layla, I think its fake. I got something fake from paypay too. Like Jo said, forward that email to the like she gave you. Paypal will reply to you and let you know if it is fake or real.

i emailed it to that address and they wrote this back..

Dear Layla Barber,

Thanks for taking an active role by reporting suspicious-looking emails.
The email you forwarded to us is a phishing email, and our security team
is working to disable it.

-------------------------
What is a phishing email?
-------------------------
Phishing emails attempt to steal your identity and will often ask you to
reveal your password or other personal or financial information. PayPal
will never ask for your password over the phone or in an email and will
always address you by your first and last name.

Thanks guys
