In my inbox there’s a scam email pretending to be from PayPal. These things are easy to spot as PayPay always use your name at the top of the email while the scammers use your email address. To help you spot fake emails the scammers included this bit of text copied and pasted from an official email.

In 2009 I got several spams from an outfit seeking to reimburse internet fraud victims. The outfit was called The Obama Foundation.

The ones with grammar/spelling errors...for instance, I once received an official-looking spam from "Amzon."

Actually, PayPal got hacked a few weeks ago and the hackers got access to an amazing amount of user information. Our police warned us on their website and it made National News.
