That potentially could have been a real email. A notification regarding PayPal receiving a court order to turn over account information to the IRS on a small number of accounts went out yesterday.
Let me look into this further and I will post back.

Just saw it on the eBay PayPal forum. The quote I posted is from a PayPal employee. Funny thing is that the guy who started that thread sent the eMail to spoof@paypal.com and received a response saying it was NOT legitimate.
