Replying to [Business in China]:
If you get such e-mails and have doubt about the origin, you should send them to Paypal direct for a prove, they have a department therefore !
here nobody can help you for shure !
As a new moderator you should also make your e-mail adress invisible, to keep in order with the rules and regulations of the discussion boards.
Please think, as a moderator you have a model charcacter, and should prevent that others take you as an example in posting !
