All For Sale threads must have a pic showing the knife being sold with written date listed, your username & Bladeforums or BFC to prevent photo harvesting from elsewhere - scammers hate this one trick! The rules for The Exchange can be found here. Please read and follow them. Stop using Paypal Friends & Family and follow our best practices to prevent getting ripped off or having a bad deal.

I used to get notes like that ... and still do occasionally. Here's what you can do.
EVERY time you get one of those notes, send it to spoof@paypal.com. They will investigate it and get back to you. If it's real, they will inform. If it's not (like every single case I've submitted to them), they will also let you know.

I get them all the time from paypal and ebay. just forward the email to spoof@paypal.com or if ebay spoof@ebay.com
Well, I tried spoof@paypal.com and received the exact same reply that I received when I tried this from the PayPal website. Demonstrating that a) the original email did come from PayPal and b) they're a pack of idiots because c) I am not now, nor have I ever been, a PayPal account holder.
I got the same e-mail:

The Last Confederate said:
The part before : is protocol name. Https is "secure" (encrypted) version of http, hypertext transfer protocol. The thing that comes after the : is FQDN, website name in your case. Afaik one FQDN of the www.paypal.com kind can only be owned by one conmpany/individual, ergo www.paypal.com always belongs to same company regardless of which protocol you use to access it (provided that that company allows for different access methods, such as unencrypted http and encrypted https). Paypal indeed provides access for unencrypted access as well but it immediately redirects you to the encrypted version - type in http://www.paypal.com and you'll end up at https://www.paypal.com (which is the same page, just transferred to you via encrypted connection).
You can read more about those cases
