Odd PayPal email

I just received an odd email from paypal. I think it's a scam. What do you all think?

Delete that- I've been thru it before. Scam- trying to get your info. Just go to your original paypal location- sign in and see if that tells you anything.

No I'm not a tard. I didn't open it. I clicked show content to see what it was. Thanks dick.

I was just asking a simple question. I didn't click the link or give them any info.

SCAM/SPAM...no doubt about it. And certainly not from PP.

You could view the source of the email and see what the sites really are. Personally, I would login to PP and any credit cards associated with PP on my own from a different browser, preferably a different computer and look for these strange events.

Never, Ever Download an attachment from a dodgy email! If you have a PP account you've managed to get into it without any downloads.

If you've already downloaded it, disconnect that computer from the internet and start checking accounts by other ways, even phone.

I am so glad I have a Ubuntu laptop at home. Security through obscurity. Even Mac's are getting malware now.

I blocked that email. Probably won't do any good but I know what to look for.
