For 1. Paypal will never send any emails to its members asking for info.

This is NOT a SCAM or HOAX

That should be the second warning ;) Comes right at the start of the email.

ALL accounts not re-verified within 5 days of receiving this email will be automatically frozen

The scare tactic.

As far as not mailing to your name, I would think Paypal knows who is who in their memberbase. ;)

** Protect Your Account Info
A genuine PayPal link will always begins with "http://www.paypal.com"

Remember to check your browser's Address/URL Bar to be sure you are on an authentic PayPal site.

Please make sure the link you click on starts with "https://www.paypal.com"

Paypal will never ask for sensitive information. PayPal sites that ask for Passport information, Driver's licence details are definitely scams.

For more information on protecting yourself from fraud, please visit the Security Center.**

This is put in to give you peace of mind..but notice nowhere they tell you to 'type' in the url...always referencing a 'link'

If anything, type in the url of the Paypal site, then check your account..if paypal needs to inform you of anything, they will do it there...they wont send you an email.
