  | Definitly fake - it is usually NOREPLY@domain.com for most companies (IN THIS CASE, NOREPLY@PAYPAL.COM) but that is noreplay - someone is just trying to scam you :S But thanksfor the heads up - if you don't watch out for these, then you can loose a whole lot of money.

| I've been getting similar emails like this for almost 2~3 years. I make it a habit to type the url instead of clicking on links that come in the emails.

for example with php mailer or by an asp mailer but the mail server always can be detected for authentication.
Well i'm curious, why after almost 2 year have paypal account, just recently i have that mail. I never exposed my paypal mail in any media (like donation button) or share to anybody (like personal sending) except some advertise programs, hosting provider and domain reseller. | ||||||||

| I use different secret email account for my PayPal and never get this kind of email. I was once got limited and restored the account but they never send email regarding the limitation, only get to know about it once I accessed my account. Emails are fake. Especially when it comes to online banking. Bank will never send email to us. In my country of course. |
