spoof@paypal.com

Forward any quesionable email from either to the appropriate address above, it helps them track the scammers (supposedly).

I get one or two similar notes a day from mostly eBay.
The best thing to do is delete ANYTHING in your email from Paypal and eBay as they know better than to send out stuff like that.
eBay is based in San Fran CA and I know that makes them real weird people but it is thier job and they don't like flipping burgers.
