Fake PayPal Emails [From [email protected] or [email protected]]
Another example of a fake PayPal e-mail. This is not a very good spam mail, there seems to be HTML errors in it, and no obvious attempt to hide the fact that it is from a fake address, so it would probably end up in your spam folder.
The e-mail appears to be from PayPal Support <[email protected]> but the reply to address is [email protected]
As per the image below the email contains the following text :-
