I keep getting that one, but the worrything is it is getting through my spam filter.

Yes Bruffin, mine was in my inbox, not even in spam/junk.. Worried me at first as it just came up Paypal like my others do when I get a receipt for buying on there. Buggers they are!

A legitimate email from paypal will always address you with your full name.
Any you recieve which is addressed 'dear paypal user' is a scam.

sarahtigh · 18/08/2012 16:37

paypal email will be addressed

Dear coffeegonecold again
