Well you haven't actually said if there is a link in that email to log in which would be the big giveaway that its a scam.

All you have to do is log into your paypal account normally and NOT via any link and if there were problems with your account paypal would refer to a message in the message centre or resolution centre.

Kudos / Solution appreciated.
