Send it to email==spoof@paypal.comspoof@paypal.com=spoof@paypal.comspoof@paypal.com/email. I HIGHLY doubt it is legit!!! Don't log into your paypal account through that e-mail....sounds like someone's phishing to me.

Dude, paypal always greets its members with their full name "Dear ....". If not, its defeinitely scam - that's the first thing I'll be looking at. I got mails like these twice and paypal advised me to check on this. Sometimes, they greet with your email= ID - Dear email=...@yahoo.com...@yahoo.com ID - Dear email=...@yahoo.com...@yahoo.com/email etc. That's definitely scam.
