If you haven't authorized this charge, open a dispute here ang get a full refund.
I have checked Paypal and no payment there, haven't clicked any links. Just a typical "ignore and it will disappear"? Thoughts appreciated as I've never had similar spam or suspicious activity before. Thanks.

you can tell a fake paypal email ... as they dont put your full name at the beginning of the email ... and the senders address is just wrong .... got weird names in it ...
if you get another one click on forward and send it to paypal ... spoof@paypal.com.au
they will attempt to trace it .... and also thank you for sending it to them .... as you arent clicking on anything it wont affect your accout or computer ...
oh and sometimes the amount of the 'supposed bill' is odd ... I got one that said I sent 129' 60 to somewhere ... they cant even get the punctuation correct 😉
