The real email looked exactly like it would had it come from Paypal customer service but the graphics dont transfer to this text box. If you click on the link they provide they ask you to log into your paypal account which YOU MUST NOT DO! If you enter your paypal login info they can steal ALL the money in your bank account. I entered a fake username and pass just to see what would happen and it led to a screen where they asked for my debit card # and pin #. I reported them to paypal and i hope this guy gets caught. I know this scam must trick a lot of people.
