Here is an excerpt from paypal's website:

Greeting: Emails from PayPal will address you by your first and last name or the business name associated with your PayPal account. Fraudulent emails often include the salutation "Dear PayPal User" or "Dear PayPal Member".


Email Attachments: PayPal emails will never ask you to download an attachment or a software program. Attachments contained in fraudulent emails often contain viruses that may harm your computer or compromise your PayPal account.


Request for Personal Information: If we require information from you, we will notify you in an email and request that you enter the information only after you have safely and securely logged in to your PayPal account.

Often, fraudulent emails will request details such as your full name, account password, credit card number, bank account, PIN number, Social Security Number, or mother's maiden name.

It's definitely "not" from paypal.. You should forward the entire email to paypal support.. so they can track the sender..

Report it to Paypal at the email address above...emails like this have been going around for years for Ebay customers, and recently Paypal has become victim. Some people are just wastes of life and taking up space on this planet.
