There are so many errors in this I almost cried laughing. There was a button to click to send me to my account. This is as bad as the phone company scams a few years back.
Maybe it works in other languages? Or is it possible that there are enough illiterate spenders on Paypal that this is lucrative?

I think your statement is full of holes.

Unfortunately some do.

I've cleaned computers full of crap from them clicking on stuff like this and similar.
Worse yet, their numbers seem to be multiplying.

Makes you understand why everything has a warning label these days.
...and a lot of them have really good jobs (teachers, doctors, nurses), graduated with honors, or have college educations...but absolutely not one iota of common sense.

Scares the hell out of me some days.

People are stupid, unfortunately. So many people never stop to think, not once, and click on everything they get in their inboxes.

These days, cleaning the computer afterwards may not be enough.
