It's a scam.

 

The attachment they want you to download has a keylogger spyware in it, designed to ferret out your passwords.

 

Hope you didn't open it.

 

NEVER sign in to your Paypal account from an email link.


And, to make your Paypal account bullet-proof, visit the security center in your Paypal account and buy one of their security keys for $5.  It puts a separate, randomly-generated numerical password on your account that changes every 30 seconds and cannot be hijacked, even if the scammer has your password.
