There's a theory about phishing emails that they deliberately make them slightly more obvious in order to weed out people like yourself who are unlikely to fall for them, to increase the average ROI of time spent on dealing with responses.

From a recent email

> How do I know this is not a Spoof email? PayPal is committed to preventing fraudulent emails. Emails from PayPal will always contain your full name. Spoof or "phishing" emails tend to have generic greetings such as "Dear PayPal member". To learn more, go to the PayPal website and click Security.
