Stay away Not legit at all

it links to update-now.ges-eg.com



If you get mails like this if you really want to be sure always type the address of the main site in manually, don't follow links!

Type paypal url by hand, NEVER click email link.

AFAIK paypal don't send emails like that so it's 666% fraud.

And forward aforementioned email to Paypal.

It's a scam, a person on Facebook got caught last week for over €800. Be careful guys.

forward the email to spoof@paypal.com you will get a reply back telling you if it is legit.

Go into your PayPal account and click resolution centre from there, sometimes you do need to update your account as an example if you recieved more than 2100 since opening the account, if this is the case you will see a option to resolve issue in your paypal account.

But DONT click on resolution centre link on the email as that will more then likely be a scam
