Went to the sight, no https:etc.

Does pp flag accounts like this?

I don't think so, but it doesn't hurt to ask, right. Just in case. smile.gif

I got a similar one, and forwarded it to spoof@paypal.com
They emailed me back, saying it was a fake.

Paypay has stated to NEVER click on a link to the paypal site that comes in an email. It is ALWAYS a scam. Go directly to the site to sign in. Never, ever, ever from an email link. smile.gif

Never click on a Paypal e-mail that addresses you as "Dear user" of with your e-mail addres wink.gif

PayPal will ONLY address you with the name you have in your profile smile.gif

Also open a new browser and type in the PayPal url. Check if the little lock on your browser status bar is closed.

PayPal never asks for personal information in an email. They only do so after you have logged into your account. I just checked, logged in and they asked me to verify my phone number, but they never send me an email for this, they just wait till you log in.
