I just forwarded this to Paypal's spoof email.  Hope it is fraudulent, but I haven't seen others reporting this.

I got an email but for $799.99 today. It did not address me as Dear 'my name'but just Dear , - which is one way you can tell if it is a scam. I have forwarded it to Paypal and deleted it.
