Careful with paypal phishing emails.

So this morning I logged into my email to see a message supposedly from paypal.
I open the message and this is what I see.

I immediately think I might be ratted so I log in from my phone and change my password. (My bank account is linked to my paypal so I was very concerned)

after reviewing the email I press down to check the sender and I immediately know its a phishing email. not sure why it says it sent the email to itself and I got it.

also the verify now button links to this site.

Careful with the site that's what the email links too.
One thing to remember with PayPal...if they send you an email, they address you by your first and last name.
Got this email also, ridiculous for people to think we're stupid enough to click the link🤗🤝

However, thanks for the heads up.

The sad thing is, people do click the link.
Lol it even says PayPal would always address you by your firstname and your lastname in the footline of the phishing mail.

Thanks for the info... I honestly did not know that. I have had paypal for over 3 years and never noticed.
This is some next level shady shit
Be extremely cautious when it comes to these type of emails and you'll be fine.
The sender of that email was dumb-as-fuck to have included the bottom part. If someone were to read that, they'd probably go back up and look for their first and last name.
I received a phishing email saying that my PayPal had been limited once, and boy did I fall for it. After some time, I realized that I had been fooled.
