Please do not reply to this e-mail. Mail sent to this address cannot be answered. For assistance, log in to your PayPal account and choose the "Help" link in the footer of any page.

To receive email notifications in plain text instead of HTML, update your preferences here.

You're probably better off contacting PayPal themselves about this, to be honest. Edit: it may be a good idea to contact the people who the IP address "belongs" to as well, but then again, I guess PayPal would probably do that themselves.

Forward the email to spoof@paypal.com

I report it and a paypal e-mail say that the site is not legit (what a discovery <_< )

I already reported it to spamcop.net but may want to subscribe for future SPAM.
