Email from PayPal that might be a scam

I received an email from PayPal today. At least I think it was PayPal. There was a case transaction I’d number. Funny thing is, I have no pending cases. The email read:

Please open the attachment and complete the steps. Then it had a box telling me my account has been locked temporarily. Of course it has the login button. I did not click this and checked my account. It’s fine. 

Beware of this email!

Typical spoof been ongoing for years.

Paypal would never tell you to click on a link to enter information re your account, they would tell you to go to the resolution or message centre in your paypal account.
