I just checked my email and had what appeared to be an email from paypal saying that a person that I had never heard of has sent me a payment. Basically the link provided was directed to a phishing website that is set up to retrieve your paypal login information.
If you receive an email like this don't follow the link provided in the email to check your account, instead use the official paypal url https://www.paypal.com

What is Phishing?
Phishing is a form of fraud designed to steal your identity. It works by using false pretenses to get you to disclose sensitive personal information, such as credit and debit card numbers, account passwords, or Social Security numbers.
One of the most common phishing scams involves sending a fraudulent email that claims to be from a well-known company. Phishing can also be carried out in person, over the phone, through fraudulent pop-up windows, and websites.
