You might just have received a spoof or phishing email falsely claiming to be from PayPal. Sending fake emails is called "phishing" because the sender is "fishing" for your personal information. The goal is to trick you in to giving up your personal, financial, or account information.
You may Forward any suspicious email to spoof@paypal.com then delete the suspicious email from your Inbox that way, we can protect you and other PayPal users.
