It's a phishing scam to get personal info from you. I usually forward those (with full headers) to spoof@paypal.com so they can shut these people down.
Here is a pretty good link:

NOOOOOO that is a fake email from somebody trying to steal your information.
DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY INFO ONLINE TO ANYBODY PAYPAL WONT ASK YOU FOR THAT ONLINE AT ALL
go directly to their site and seek help, you can also report this email by forwarding, without clicking on anything that the email may ask you to click on, and forward it to a site that is for Paypal's fake emails and fraud.
SO DONT CLICK ON ANY OF THE EMAIL OTHER THAN THE BUTTON FOR "FORWARD" FROMT HE EMAIL BODY.
Be really careful I also get them and some are very good they fool you but not me, but someone whose never gotten those may fall for it.
And tell yr computer that is junk mail indeed and report it now!
though the thieves r smart and they keep sending those to steal the info and fake different email addressses bogus email addresses. So you may get more looking a bit different and may think thats really Paypal, so beware.

hey be careful ...with paypal ...atleast some hacker is trying to get into people's account by using fake paypal website! IF you get a mail from paypal before clicking the link ...check whether it's a direct link to paypal {that is check the link for accuracy } otherwise...go to the paypal directly by typing in directly...
if some charge has already been made(after you logged on the actual site ....then contact paypal for help ...all this on the actual site & not the fake... to be sure you reach the actual site...type in paypal.com directly on your web browser instead of clicking on any link to get to paypal ...
hope this helps

Yes and I am certain it was by a Phising criminal fraud outfit.
\Do not respond to the scumbags, in any manner.
