Due to these new policies from PayPal, most of the Indian users looking for alternatives. I have always used PayPal since the beginning and I don't have any idea about other money transfer sites. But I have no other choice to leave PayPal. So what are the best alternatives of PayPal?

I don't think that sounds legitimate. For a start, if it really was Paypal they'd address you as Dear <your name here>, not like this:
Dear Wisden Writers

I copied it from digitalpoint, I think I deleted my copy of this email.

Is there any hyper links in that email?
It seems legitimate, and I suggest alertpay and moneybookers.

Unless that is your real name?

It's a business paypal account that will be his business name I get "Dear Dev-Network Group".

Nope, he copy/pasted from DP and didn't insert his own name in XD

Btw a quick google turns up LOTS of results. It seems legitimate, or an extremely complex hoax

Now I edited the email, its not fake email, this PayPal problem discussion is all over DP.

From reading the official Paypal webpage on it, it sounds legit, but it's rather old news, this is 6th May

It is not requesting that the recipient send any bank details or fill any form, or download an attachment.
If 'click here' leads to paypal, then it's legitimate. Everything else about it is.
