Where can I find the actual email to send to PayPal?

Incredibly importation information, Andre. I had one such email the other day and forwarded it to spoof@paypal.com. Whenever I receive an email from any payment platform, I never open them and simply go to the website itself.

Thank you for the heads-up for all of us.

That's is the best way Sue I only opened the email, not the links for this purpose and for the training otherwise it is just forwarded to PayPal.
