I got a much more convincing email from PayPal recently, someone sent a quote (apparently a feature that can be used unsolicited), and set their company name to something like "PayPal need to get in touch about a your recent payment of $499.00, please call +1-....", so this is most of the text at the top because their quotes email is "<name> is sending you a quote for $xxx".

This email came from the real PayPal.com, how they haven't gotten on top of usernames like that is beyond me for a payment processor. I reported it to them but haven't heard anything back, hopefully they banned that account but they should ban all names like that.

This email honestly was formatted to look like a legit PayPal email, I have to imagine that scam will trick a lot of normal people.

Get in touch, see my bio website, if you want the email.
