Pretty weak. Does not even have my PayPal registered email address or account name in it. The FROM email address was
service <[email protected]>
which is even weaker!

Always forward such emails to [email protected] (and EBAY spoof ones to [email protected]). You'll get a response back like this:

Hello___________,

Thanks for forwarding that suspicious-looking email. You're right - it
was a phishing attempt, and we're working on stopping the fraud. By
reporting the problem, you've made a difference!

Identity thieves try to trick you into revealing your password or other
personal information through phishing emails and **** websites. To learn
more about online safety, click "Security Center" on any PayPal webpage.


Every email counts. When you forward suspicious-looking emails to
[email protected], you help keep yourself and others safe from identity
theft.

Your account security is very important to us, so we appreciate your
extra effort.

Thanks,

PayPal
