Received e mail 'supposedly' from PayPal asking me to update my account, this is the e mail address it came from norply@e-coin.io
Is it genuine or not?

No.
Look at the links in the email -do not click on them, they will not go to the proper site, it would be a clone of the site page.0 -

Unless PayPal has located its headquarters to the middle of the Indian Ocean, then no. The email is very obviously not from PayPal.
IO, IO, it's off to scam we go . . .:)0 -
does not even originate from e-coin.io as this is site owned by Wirex (the largest Bitcoin card provider)0

Best to train yourself to never click on any link in an email.
I even double check the ones from "trusted sources" like friends.0 -
If you get any emails like this (pretending to be from paypal), forward them on to: spoof@paypal.co.uk
