It might not be suspicious but paypal emails never go into my spam box. i got this email:


Dear ********
,


We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal account
from a different IP address.


If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in
attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you did not initiate
the log ins, please visit PayPal as soon as possible to check-up your
account information:


https://www.paypal.com/uk/


Thanks for your patience.


Sincerely,

PayPal Team

Now, without thinking i clicked the link. i closed it after it didnt load anything and am now a bit cautious. I went into the source of the message but have no idea what im looking for whether its real or not.

If you're worried, go into your bbrowser and type the PayPal address manually and check your account information.

It's not a signed email, meaning that the person who created it wanted to cover their tracks, all unsigned email gets shoved into Junk mail usually, it's not from paypal as far as I can tell, somebody is trying to Phish you. The email was sent from an incorrect mail server. It was sent from redseam.net pretending to be paypal.com

thats what i was wondering about, the redseam.net thing, but wasnt sure if it was just from a random paypal sight like facebook use fcbk.com or something for photos. is it safe for me to log on, even though i clicked the link?
