Paypal scam email...?

I received a 'payment confirmation' email that was from


"service@ paypal.com"


Notice the space after the "@".





Anyway, it was regarding an item I had sold on craigslist and asked that I ship the item and confirm the shipping number before the payment would be released to my account. I checked my paypal account and there were no records of any payment that was being withheld until shipping info was confirmed.





Anyone have any ideas if this is real or fake?





Thanks

Reply:We do lots of selling with paypal and over the years we have been sent all kinds of outside source scams. Be very careful. Contact Paypal directly if your concerned it may be legit. Better to be safe then sorry.
Reply:Login to your PayPal and contact customer service to confirm whether it is legit.
Reply:Many people have received this type of email from the same sender and have found it to be fake. Yours doesn't seem to be different. I am very sure it is fraudulent.
Reply:i think that would be fake. if there is no record on your pay pal account, that's probably a fake. but contact pay pal just in case.
Reply:IT IS FAKE DO NOT TAKE AN ACTION THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN CHECK THIS IS GOING TO www.paypal.com AND CHECK IT FOR YOURSELF NEVER BELIEVE IN THE PAYPAL MAILS UNLESS YOU KNOW YOU JUST BOUGHT/SELL SOMETHING
Reply:i had this exact thing happen to me, i was selling an ipod on ebay and i got the same type of email. It gave instructions on printing labels and getting a tracking number before i could get my payment. It is a scam! A week later i got an email from ebay saying that persons ebay account was deleted. I caught it in the nick of time though. It is fake don't ship it!
