Before responding to these emails open the properties of the email itself. Click on the details tab and check the originator... if it is
****@paypal.com then that should verify it's authenticity.
Still be careful though!

General wisdom for any communication with banks/pay pal is to type in the url don't click on links in any email.
My personal pearl wisdom is treat an email tagged urgent as a security threat or spam -- but perhaps that because I have a bad case of Victor
Meldrewism or as Forrest Gump put it poo happens.
Firefox has an add on to help detect spoofed web addresses -- it seems to work.
