Yesterday I signed up a Paypal account and then rececived an mail from Paypal to confirm my email address and activate my Paypal account,but its ending is " service@intl.paypal.com" .
I guess it's not an email from the real Paypal website,but a fake mail!So I forward the suspicious email to" spoof@paypal.com" as their security tips.
Several hours laters I received a reply from Paypal.In the reply The Paypal Team said the suspicious email I forwarded is an phishing mail and their security team is working to disable it.
Then I made a completely new register ,a new paypal account ,but what surprised me most was that all emails I received to confirm my account were the same as my first attempt!!That's to say ,all of there are fake mails ! I can't believe it !
Now I long to know what email on earth is the Real mail from the Real Paypal ! Who can tell me which domain name is true ? The "@intl.paypal.com" or the"@paypal.com"?
I need your advice ,my friends!

"service@intl.paypal.com" and "@paypal.com"
both are valid IDs for Paypal confirmations .
I would suggest to use Gmail as it can suggest
which is real mail and which is a fake mail in
most cases . Yahoo mail also has this capability .
if a mail goes to spam / bulk folder then most
probably it is a fake . of course sometimes valid
mails also move to the spam / bulk but it is
a general guidance ...
