One big giveaway is the 'Dear Customer' salutation, Paypal always includes your name in an email.

[#3]

Common also is that computer generated Dear 'first and second name' which always irritates.

There is also a current Paypal text scam with a message saying you have made a payment. If not click here to cancel it - and of course provide all your log in details!  Beware.

I'm getting lots of requests at the moment to verify details and check privacy updates, as businesses prepare for the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), and that makes it so much easier to get drawn into scams like this one.
