Can tell its a spoof from the first 2 words..

Paypal NEVER address you as Dear Member or User etc etc they address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith.

Also paypal would NEVER tell you to sort problems with your account via a link in an email, they would tell you to log into your paypal account normally and go to the resolution centre.

If you clicked on that link you would give the scammers access to your log in info and paypal account.

Read the below for more info.
