Hi, can anyone tell me if this is a scam,or just phishing/spam.

It's obviously not from paypal,so the only thing I can think of is that it could be a virus if you clicked on the link.

Here's the header followed by the actual e-mail because it's all in code on the message source page:-"in red"

IP tracker gave the location as canada ?

this looks like a phishing email to me. usually the link will go to a fake paypal page resembling the real thing, and they hope people will try and log in using their real paypal details to investigate this apparent transaction they have not really made.

Please follow these instructions to report phishing:
PayPal wrote:Phishing is an illegal attempt to "fish" for your private, sensitive data. If you believe you've received a phishing email, follow these steps right away:

1. Forward the entire email to [email protected].
2. Do not alter the subject line or forward the message as an attachment.
3. Delete the suspicious email from your email account.

We'll send you an email response to let you know if the email is indeed fraudulent. In the meantime, don't click on any links or download any attachments within the suspicious email.


To report a fake PayPal (spoof) website follow these instructions:
PayPal wrote:Phishing emails often lead you to fake or "spoof" websites in an attempt to steal your private, sensitive data. If you believe you've arrived at a spoof website, do not enter any information.

All you have to do is copy and paste the site's Web address (e.g., http://www.we382eu.com) and share it with us here. With this simple action, you'll be helping to keep our entire community safe.


Large firms are real quick to pull down phishing ans spoofs.
