New Paypal Scam?

Have never had this one before!
Received 3 e-mails today, supposedly from Paypal informing me that an amount of US$68 had been received into my paypal account, but that I needed to confirm that is was a 'genuine' payment before they would allow it to credit my account. There was a 'click here', obviously I didn't, and immediately fwd all 3 to spoof@paypal.co.uk
Anyone else had this yet?

Yes I have this morning, but by coincidence previous day I had to request an extra £3.00 to be sent by paypal to pay for postage to USA to one of my buyers. I was suspicious because $68 does not equal the £3.00 I invoiced him for - but it nearly had me first thing this morning! I too forwarded to SPOOF@ebay.co.uk0
