I had the same one - my name though.

My gut reaction was scam but on closer inspection it actually really is from paypal

Don't know why they would have an email which seems to have been designed to look dodgy

I've had a couple of those from PayPal. I normally find that anything from PayPal looks dodgy.

With anything like that I tend to bin it. Then pop onto the site separately (e.g. through google) and log in fresh to see if they actually meant to send me anything.

That's a random one with the Honda Towbar! Good that they gave you the money back.

It's quite easy to tell dodgy emails, just log into paypal (or which ever site) directly in a new window. any genuine message/email will also appear on there.

I got the statement last night, first one ever. Although I do remember only a couple of weeks back I got a 'change of policy' notification.

I've also binned the email, I'll go into the account directly to check.
