What half-ass numbskull is going to fall for this? PayPal is a reasonably professional entity and this email is so far away from the sort of communications I expect from them that it is an obvious fake from the first few words.
The wildly different treatment of commas makes it partly funny, but what really got me rolling my eyes was the utter lack of any attempt to disguise the goto link. It's SUPPOSED to be from PayPal, not some off-the-cuff domain!
Maybe these things are so wildly woeful because the scamsters don't want people with actual brains clicking on their links and maybe sicking the cyberfuzz onto them. They only want doofusses.
But for me, and I regard myself as someone with half a brain, it's just an annoyance.
