Paypal Email Scam

I log in to my email tonight and then I saw an email from Paypal stating that there is an unusual activity from my account. I was already skeptical and then I started to think that this is not right so I check all steps that I know that will prove me right that this is a phishing email trying to steal private, sensitive data. I took a screen capture so you all can see it.
Just always remember to do this steps and you will be fine.
- Don't Panic. Clear your mind (yeah I said that because I have a different email address for my Paypal account)
- Always check the sender (that's sender is not even from paypal)
- Check if they put your real name (emails from Paypal will always contain your full name)
- Do not click any links that you see (especially when in doubt)
