I got it too. I don't think they can have my credit card information since the one registered on paypal is an old card I don't have anymore. I still sent an e-mail to my bank conselor and she advised me to stop my credit card just in case.

I got this same email on Dec 8th from the address support (at) madeium (dot) com that read "Thanks for choosing Xoom. We've received your transaction and are currently processing it.
We'll send you another email with specific details once your payment is processed and your transaction is sent to our partner HBL for deposit." , followed by a transaction preview (did not click).
The supposed recipient was "Habib Bank Limited" / somebody located in Pakistan.
I terminated that Paypal account since I hadn't used it in years and the card associated with that account had expired, but my bank info was still attached. This scam seems pretty well done, I've been googling for half an hour now while slightly freaking out. When I googled madeium it seems to be some kind of graphic design site or something of the like. I did not click on their website, but I wonder if their email has been hacked to be used for this scam?
