Forward the message to the spoof/phishing email address at paypal spoof@paypal.com and then delete the email message from your inbox.
It could be very likely an attempt to get you to go to a Phishing page, for the purposes of confusing you so you enter your email/password, allowing them to steal your email / password combination so as to gain access to your PayPal account and empty out your bank account.
Be cautious when following the directions on any email. The only address you should ever go to for paypal is http://www.paypal.com and no other.

Thanks for the warning. But the email is actually from PayPal. I have verified the message headers. Also the url’s actually go to PayPal, not to some cloaked PayPal lookalike. There is absolutely no indication in the email that it may be from someone else.
Also the email addressed me with my account name (which is non-obvious) exactly as PayPal does and phisher’s don’t. This is a surefire indication according to PayPal that a email is genuinely from PayPal.

Ditto here!
I have just recieved it twice on two of my four paypal accounts (I look after a few charities). One of the accounts has only been set up a week and the e-mail address has never been used for anything.
