I found this all vaguely phishing. I know now to click on any link other than navigating directly to Paypals site. I would like to report this ASAP to make sure no one gets roasted by this email. It was sent to my gmail account and appeared in my SPAM box.

Welp I reported it to Paypal. Just watch out folks. First one I have gotten in a longggg time.

thanks for the heads up

yeah, and paypal wont do crap about it either. as usual except put some warning on their web site 500 pages deep in their help section.

For those who might not know what to look for, or may have recieved a false Paypal email:

From Paypal.com

Q How can I tell the difference between a real PayPal email and a fake one?
A The term spoofing and phishing have been used to describe the act of collecting personal information using a fake email in order to commit identity theft, credit card, and Internet fraud. If you click on a link included in an email you're not sure is from PayPal, make sure the address at the top of the browser window you're brought to reads exactly www.paypal.com.

PayPal emails will address you by first name, last name, or business name, and NOT by Dear PayPal User or Dear PayPal Member.

If you are ever uncertain about the validity of the email or the email links, open a new web browser window and type in www.paypal.com.

If you think you have received a fraudulent email, forward the entire email to [email protected] and then delete it from your email account.
