I think someone sended me a phising mail

I got this email yesterday, I accidentally opened the pdf. In is, it said that my account had to verify. Then I realized that it was probably a phising mail. Then I looked up on google, how paypal mails look like, and none of them (exept the email) was like it. Should I just ignore it?

If its a spoof, NEVER USE ANY LINK.

Firstly if the email/text addressed you as ''Dear Member'' / ''Customer'' / ''Client'' OR your ''email address'' then that confirms its a spoof as paypal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith.

Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email/text to ''cancel'' any transaction or ''confirm'' any details then again it would be a spoof.

If there was a problem with your account Paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email or by downloading an attachment, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.
