Received this email
You recently tried to pay with PayPal but the transaction was declined because your credit or debit card provider did not allow it to go through.
It was addressed to me with full first and last name. I clicked the link and it took me to the official Paypal Login page.
Could someone confirm for me its legit.
Thanks

NEVER EVER click on links in an email, it is very doubtful that that was the correct log in screen and if you went to log in then they may have hijacked your log in info.
Send it to spoof@paypal.com and they will confirm for you if its a spoof.
Also to be on the safe side and if you logged in change your password to a strong one asap.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
