The second one is easily discarded since the address it sends you to is not paypal.com
But the first one is a little hard to realize because it can trick you that the link goes to paypal.com but if you hit it takes you to paypal.us. DON'T BE FOOLED
I have received these emails from: no-replyy @ gmail.com, news @ gmail.com, account @ gmail.com, tp-verify @ gmail.com make a note of those adresses and also make a note that paypal is not supposed to be sending such emails AT ALL.
Upon receiving these emails you can send them to spoof @ paypal.com in hope that paypal can do something about them
This technique is very old and for anyone interested in reading more about it, its called phishing
