Emails from Paypal are from paypal.com .
Emails from scammers are from XSxjmFSS@reisburger.shop or something that's not Paypal. That address, by the way is from an email i just received in my junk folder. It's posing as an email from United Health telling me I "WON AN ORAL-B SERIES 8!"

I guess people actually fall for this stuff.
