    It's a fake. I received a dozen or so of them and they all went straight to the spam folder.

    Remember, when you receive emails from places like Google, Paypal, eBay, etc. where you are spending money on them, NONE of them will start an email with "Dear Customer".

    They will ALWAYS use your real name or login name.

    Also, always check any links in any email that is suspicious. If it doesn't start with https for sites involving money, AND if it doesn't have the correct site name in the link, it's a fake and a phishing attempt. ;)
