I have gotten emails like that too. But never click on the link.

I got a few during a long period when I wasn't using PayPal. Almost believed the trick, but no, did not take the bait. And alerted PayPal.

Yes, I got it also. Had gotten it before so knew it was a scam. It does look very official though. They do not ask for any personal information.

Get these often from Pay Pal, one of several reasons I don't trust or use them anymore.

As an extra security measure, I still don't use links in emails. I'll go to that site in a separate window. I'm sure some spammers can find names and email addresses.

I got one that actually used my name! So don't fall for it. I always just go to paypal.com or ebay.com and look under messages and IF they mailed you then it will be there.
