I received a notification and it is indicated that it is from PayPal. When I checked the details, I can pinpoint that there's something wrong with the wordings and world spelling. The conclusion is that the sender is phishing innocent people again. The course of action is to tag in the spam folder. This is the second time that I received this. It almost hacked my PayPal account from scammer's first attempt.
Did you receive any messages like this in your email?
Has someone scammed you before, either online or offline?

The very first thing that tells me that this is a phishing scam is that it begins "Dear Customer". Genuine emails from PayPal NEVER do this. They ALWAYS address you by name. You really don't need to look any further than this before deleting the message (or hitting the "Report as Spam" button in your email client's page). If you wish, you can forward the email to PayPal's spam reporting system before deleting it but they will very likely already have a record of the spammer, so I never bother.

Yes, but we can sense if they're scamming or not; so let's be vigilant!

That's bad because many innocent may not have any idea of this fraud
