Don't worry........its a spoof, its not from paypal AT ALL.
You will know an email is not from PayPal when:
•The email uses a generic greeting like 'Dear user' or 'Hello, PayPal member’.
•The email requests financial and other personal information.
•The email includes an attachment, a software update to install on your computer.
