That is not my email address mate, that is where it came from.

I checked my emails on my phone earlier, saw the email, and contacted paypal.

When I got home, went on the PC, the email had gone straight into my junk box, and the address above was visible.

Ok coolio I've seen it done lots of times though so just thought I'd be pro active to coin one of those management phrases

Yup !!
We get them regular every 4 or 5 weeks.............. .Just ignore, and delete.
Have reported them to Paypal, but they still keep arriving

we just move the scammers into junk folder, if they resend automatically goes to junk,
