On first glance, this invoice from PayPal might look real, but closer examination reveals typos, syntax errors, and that there is no Tatyana Tech, even with the address of service@paypal.com. Digging into the header details shows that the email included a different Reply-To address, where any questions you had about the puzzling email would be routed instead of to PayPal.
