I assume that Paypal has no business interest in making the email and the links in the email seem more legit. Users that think it is phishing will disregard the email and not claim back the money they rightfully own. Info https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/About-Protections-Archiv...

My state (I assume similar in all/most) has laws about how businesses must handle unclaimed funds, eventually if they cannot get a response from the owner of the funds, they get deposited with the state and the owner (or heir) can claim them.

What's the problem here? It's really easy to tell that this is a real email. It comes from @paypal.com and has a valid DKIM signature for that domain.

This email does not contain any sketchy links, in fact I think the email doesn't contain any links at all! https://www.flickr.com/groups/olympus-e500/discuss/721576308... (via: alisonkisk)

There's no particular reason to be suspicious of this email, they did everything right.
