Scam - Digital Ocean Inc

I received an email today saying I charged $200 with Digital Ocean thru paypal.

Has anyone else seen this?  I am positive it's scam, because I don't know the company nor have I used pay pal for that amount.  The "from email" shows as <removed>

 

Anyone else?

I just got an email like this, except on an email address that I have never made a paypal account with, Im very confused with what I can do about it other than check with my credit card provider and report any discrepancies on that end.

I got an email fro Digital Ocean too and forwarded it to spoof@paypal.com. One more phishing mail from PayPal...I may as well close PayPal account. It happens too often somehow with PayPal.

I just received the same email, however it came to my old email account, which I used for my old paypal account. My first thought was it was fake because of the incorrect paypal email address. About 2 months ago I reveived a notification from ebay prompting me to change my password because of suspected breech of my account. I think that ebay is the source of the scam - well in my case. Maybe everyone who uses ebay can change their passwords?

I just received the same email this morning.  I checked my paypal account and thank goodness the money was not removed.  These scammers are so tricky.
