Here is Paypal's reply to me after forwarding this suspicious e-mail to them at spoof@paypal.com:

Thanks for taking an active role by reporting suspicious-looking
emails.
The email you forwarded to us is a phishing email, and our security
team
is working to disable it.

**************************
What is a phishing email?
**************************
Phishing emails attempt to steal your identity and will often ask you
to
reveal your password or other personal or financial information. PayPal

will never ask you for your password over the phone or in an email and
will always address you by your first and last name.

Take our Fight Phishing Challenge at
https://www.paypal.com/fightphishing to learn five things you should
know about phishing. You'll also see what we're doing to help fight
fraud every day.

***************************
You've made a difference
***************************
Every email counts. By forwarding a suspicious-looking email to
spoof@paypal.com, you've helped keep yourself and others safe from
identity theft.

Thanks,

The PayPal Team
