Its a spoof, DO NOT USE ANY LINK.

Firstly if the email did not address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith thats the first sign its a spoof.

Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email to ''cancel'' the transaction or ''confirm'' any details or your account would be limited then again it would be a spoof.

If there was a problem with your account paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email or by downloading an attachment, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.
