possible scam?

[Bradders102]

I received an odd email today that said. "Receipt for your Paypal payment to Facebook. A charge of £82.51 was made to Facebook from your PayPal account. If you havn`t authorised this charge, please cancel the payment and get a full refund.

I checked my PayPal account today and no money has been withdrawn. 

I never buy anything from Facebook, and that email link I am expected to reply on is fairly obviously a scam email.

If its a spoof, DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINK.

Firstly if the email addressed you as ''Dear Member'' / ''Customer'' / ''Client'' OR your ''email address'' then that confirms its a spoof as paypal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith.

Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email to ''cancel'' the transaction or ''confirm'' any details then again it would be a spoof.

If there was a problem with your account paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email or by downloading an attachment, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.
