First giveaway is 'Dear member'. Paypal always addresses you with your full name.

These emails often do the rounds.
Dont click on any links .......

only log in via the actual website.

Block the email address that sent you the email....

I get several of these things every day, always with things like

dear member

'monies' issues

'securrity' issue

etc

I foward most of them to spoof at paypal but seems pointless

Just ignore them and delete without click links

As with every other time these scams come up, it's pretty simple: hover your cursor over the links in the e-mail - if the address that's shown in the taskbar doesn't have "paypal.com" in it, it's fake.
