Paypal is safe. Forward all suspicious emails to: spoof@paypal.com.au & they will deal with it.

Thanks for posting your initial message. I received this email today and thought the amount looked odd.  By googling jd design, I found your message. So, thank you!  Have obviously deleted this dodgy email.

This has happened to me but What happens if you click on the link?

It may have downloaded some malware to your computer, and/or if you actually attempted to log in to an account via the link, you will effectively hand over your login details to a scammer. 

 

I suggest changing all sensitive passwords now, run a full system scan on your computer to check for viruses etc, and change your passwords again when it's done (especially important if it picks up a keylogger).
