I got that exact email today and it listed some strange email address. Checked my account, from the PayPal site, and there is no change or added information.
Odd phish?

im sure you all now this but every email you get from paypal you should forward to spoof@paypal.com they will check the email and tell you if its them or whether its a scam.
I fell for a scam last week and lost a valuable item. the email address used was services@intl.paypal.com its a scam and if you get a buyer called Ralph Hudson with the address 24/25 federal housing Ogun Nigeria to a man called Hammed hamzat or similiar its a SCAM its very clever the way this man operates he tries to get you to send him lots of items fast before you find out and his faked emails are so realistic i didnt 'bat an eyelid' and believed it was paypal he even sent me a welcome from paypal telling me what all the statuses mean on your payments ie pending complete cancelled... he told me that pending meant that paypal had deducted money from the customers account and the payment was pending confirmation from paypal to be deposited to me and i would have to send the tracking id and a copy of the receipt to services@intl.paypal.com for proof of postage, i have found out that if they get this information they can pretend to be the sender and get the item redelivered to any address in there country. im not racist in any way, what im about to type is out of anger and fustration not racism, I hate **bleep**ing N***ers right now!!
