From the PayPal website;
"You may have received an email falsely claiming to be from PayPal or another known entity. This is called "phishing" because the sender is "fishing" for your personal data. The goal is to trick you into clicking through to a fake or "spoof" website, or into calling a bogus customer service number where they can collect and steal your sensitive personal or financial information.

If you have opened a phishing email but have not clicked on any links, you shouldn't have anything to fear. If you have clicked on a link, or you have downloaded an attachment, read our Identity Protection Guide to learn what to do next.

It's also important to report the phishing email or spoof site as soon as possible in order to protect yourself-and to help your fellow members in the PayPal community."
