Julia the PC GP Answers:

A. Ppl Team – PayPal would not use this!

B. Dear customer. If PayPal were actually writing to you, would they not know your name and show it?

C. Why would PayPal need to attach a file?

D. Why would PayPal include a link to a website which doesn’t even say PayPal.com?

E. Bad sentence format – for example many letters are capitalised when they shouldn’t be, commas are inserted with spaces before and after.
