Unless PayPal has located its headquarters to the middle of the Indian Ocean, then no. The email is very obviously not from PayPal.

does not even originate from e-coin.io as this is site owned by Wirex (the largest Bitcoin card provider)0

Best to train yourself to never click on any link in an email.
I even double check the ones from "trusted sources" like friends.0 -
If you get any emails like this (pretending to be from paypal), forward them on to: spoof@paypal.co.uk
