PayPal do not use fly by night email addresses they will use their own actual email address which is palpal.com followed by whatever country you are linked with.

In my case being from Australia this would be paypal.com.au any wording in front of this would be from a department in PayPal as you can see below and another one I will give you further in this training relating to scams.

Here is one example I received from PayPal after I purchased something the other day you will notice that the email address is service@paypal.com.au it will always be @paypal.com following by your country code.

Also note the PayPal actual logo in the top right hand corner. One that is not visible in the fake example sent to me shown in the previous email and later on the next page.

• PayPal will never address you as Dear User such as in this example below nor would they call you Dear Member and so on.

Below is what PayPal have specifically stated which you can find in the help section once you log into PayPal.

How do I know if an email is from PayPal?

You'll know if an email is from PayPal when: You see your name or your business name in the email. We always address you by your full name or your business name as registered on your PayPal account. Well never use generic greetings like Hello PayPal member.
