Receipt for your payment; Case lD: TWYGXZJXTK

This is not from paypal. I do not have an account with them; it's a phishing spam. If you receive one of these, you can forward it to: spoof@paypal.com. They are very helpful to get these phishing spams shut down. NEVER CLICK ON LINKS OR ATTACHMENTS IN ANY SUSPECTED E-MAIL SPAM!!!Knowledge is power against spammers.
