Very likely. Forward the email to phishing@paypal.com so they can investigate.
Seems like scammer abuse of the PayPal Invoicing, estimates or money request features with scammy text triggering an email from PayPal. Look for a corresponding request/estimate/invoice in your account activity.
Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
