@judyev they have this mindset that someone will eventually be deceived and believe it.

@marguicha You need to keep your wits about you when opening emails.

They were almost surely scam emails, but you took the sensible approach. Every time that I receive an email from any financial site I close the email and log into the site manually. If there is a message it will be displayed there.

@marguicha Yes I know, which was why I mentioned that you had done the sensible thing.

You should report those to paypal support. Several years ago paypal has reported such activity and is requesting all paypal users who have been receiving such scam to report them to paypal support immediately.

I occasionally get scam emails that purport to be from PayPal. I will go to my account and check unless I know for sure they are scams. I won't open the email even to see what it says.

I get a LOT of those emails, often related to local banks rather than PayPal. Often they refer to my accounts with banks with which I've never done business.

@jayaramas They're a scam (phishing). They're hoping that people will give them all their personal information including passwords and then they'll be able to log in and empty your account.

We are always being warned about those type of scams so I know they're out there. I normally check the source whenever I get any emails about any of my money.
