I receive such emails on a regular basis, it's easy to see the are phishing messages, just look at the sender's email address. Never log to Paypal other than on its normal URL.
I always forward them to spoof@paypal.com

hi didier, if you know what to look out for i agree is easy to spot but if you got this for the first time you could easily fall for it, or maybe react to quick without thinking and click the link it looks genuine. regards tony

They are all very clever in simulating the look of a genuine email.
I guess we all have to be more careful all the time these days.
