Paypal knows who they're emailing 2) Right click on the link to "Paypal" and "Copy Link Location" and paste it somewhere. You'll quickly see that link does not lead back to Paypal. The last time I got a phishy email from "Paypal" I did a whois on and it turned out the email orginated from an ISP in Palestine. There are actually a couple very easy ways to tell it’s a scam

I've been on the net for 12 years and I fell for an Ebay scam. I was selling a number of things...I don't often do this, and I got an email from a "buyer" asking a question. I logged in using the link and then realized my mistake. I quickly switched to another browser and like you, changed my password. Jean Don’t feel bad.
