This PayPal email is not just a scam, but if you click on the Paypal header (not included in this post) you get not one, but two trojans & one virus all trying to affect your P.C. at the same time.
It is also the same with the clickable link, (I guess in case that's if you don't check the header), thats why it is disabled so that you don't get infected & I don't get accused of posting a virus.trojan infected thread.
Back check on this email to see where it originated shows this.
