    Spam with a harmful virus IMO, just delete it and forget about it.
    I keep getting "paypal" receipts about a digital camera from Asda direct lol.
    I do double check my genuine PayPal account via google though when I get one.
    If you haven't made an order and nothing shows in your genuine account for that website (use google don't click any email links) then it's a fake with harmful virus and or malware they want you to download by opening the attachment.

    I get these too. I just delete them. I get loadsa "rubbish" emails about stuff I haven't bought and accounts I haven't got and treat them all the same. I think I must have a common name or something!
