Hubby received a very offical looking Paypal letter telling him that his log-in had failed with either his email address or password. The email included clickable links to a site that looks like Paypal's
The email had a a 'pl' ending--so it had orginated from Poland.
Unfortuately I do not have the original email/ so none of the headers---he forwarded to me----- he does not have a PAYPAL account--but his website mentions Paypal as a payment option.

Whoa! I was just about to post a thread about the same email, which I received today. Hadn't thought to check the headers, though.
What's really strange is that I haven't been registered with or used PayPal since last September. So where & how did this scammer get my email address?
Edited to give headers for the email:
