As some of you may know, I was ripped off by some people posing as paypal. They can be quite convincing, but there are some key things to know before you open reply to any email from paypal.
First off is that the greeting will have YOUR name and not "Paypal Customer". If you see that, its fake, just delete it.
Second, paypal does not include links to its website. If its real it will tell you to go to the website and log on. If you click on a link and it takes you to to the login page, its fake.
I have gotten a few of these emails as of late, and the only reason I know that they are fake is because I got ripped of that one time. Granted I got my money back, but it was a BIG hassle. So keep and eye out and don't fill out any of these emails.
