Sounds as if its a spoof >>

Firstly how did that email address you? If it was not by your full name then it would be a spoof.

Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email to ''cancel'' the transaction 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, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.
