These  "phishing" expeditions are ALWAYS going on.   - not just using  
PayPal, 
but all sorts of companies - generally in the financial  industry.  US 
Bank, 
Wells Fargo. Bank of American and on and  on.  Many appear very 
sophisticated 
as they "capture" or reproduce  very closely an actual screen from the 
company being mimicked  (spoofed). 

This is the response that Paypal sends when you forward on a suspected  
E-mail. I don't necessarily suggest you go to their "Fight Fishing Challenge"  
web site. But I am pretty sure it is legit.
 
 
 
 

Thanks for taking an active role by reporting suspicious-looking  emails.
The email you forwarded to us is a phishing email, and our security  team
is working to disable it.

-------------------------
What is a  phishing email?
------------------------- 
Phishing emails attempt to  steal your identity and will often ask you to
reveal your password or other  personal or financial information. PayPal 
will never ask for your password  over the phone or in an email and will 
always address you by your first and  last name.

Take our Fight Phishing Challenge at  
https://www.paypal.com/fightphishing to learn 5 things you should know  
about phishing. You'll also see what we're doing to help fight fraud  
every day.

-------------------------
You've made a  difference.
-------------------------
Every email counts. By forwarding a  suspicious-looking email to 
spoof at paypal.com, you've helped keep yourself  and others safe from 
identity theft.

Thanks,

The PayPal  Team
