I received this email today and went to paypal.com to check my account activity but did not find any transactions for this amount for or from Australia. I am in the States.  =/  Is this a scam email? I forwarded it to spoof@paypal.com. Anything else I need to do? ETA: Sorry I don't know how to trim the content down to make it not an html or image as I just copy pasted the email, please edit if needed. ETA again: Well, so much for forwarding it to spoof@paypal.com, I just got a bounced bab auto response saying the messege was blocked. Huh? Here is the messege:    >>> Thanks for contacting PayPal and sending us the suspicious email you received.  We have identified malicious content in the email you sent to us and have blocked that email from our systems.  If you haven’t done so already, please delete the email.
