Thanks for the info... I don't recall seeing this but whenever I get anything like that ... I don't click on any of the links in that email... I go directly to my site that I know is safe and look there for any messages... Just being aware of these things helps..
Thanks for the posting...

My 90 year old mother received one of these also and she immediately deleted it. She would never buy anything on the internet, much less use PayPal. Shame on whoever is using this scam.

I also got it--they want you to forward it to [email protected] so they can check it out. If it really was theirs, they'll let you know.

when you "hover" over a link in an email, at the bottom of the page you will see where that link will take you. Usually it is a site in some other country, like .ru (russia) - not picking on russia, just saying most of them are off shore and definitely not a real PP site.
