From first glance you would think this is legit since it came from "service@paypal.com"
Only that
They spelled "
customer" as "
costumer"!
Unless paypal does cosplay these days, only a fool would clicky the linky.
It also looks like they sent you the message after their deadline. The idiots :D
I got a scam email a while back offering me a percentage of $10,000,000 in return for helping them and their family into my country. I told them that "my country" (I didn't specify which one) was a sh!t hole and that they wouldn't want to come here, but if they wanted safe passage through it, $10,000,000 would be nice. I got no reply.
I used to play with scammers and see how much I could fuck them up..
You might want to take a look at this (old) scambait that my brother and I did on an unfortunate young scammer from Ghana.
