3 things would make me feel that is legit, Ken.
1. They addressed it to you by name, not "Dear PayPal Member"
2. I assume they had your email address correct as the email address you are registered at PayPal with
3. When going to my PayPal pages about a month ago, an interim page popped up telling me basically the same thing. If you are in doubt, you can either call or email PayPal about it, sending them a copy of the email, including all headers and footers. Paypal - 1-888-221-1161 (I don't know what email addy you would send info to offhand.)

I send all of them to "Spam@eBay.com" Paypal is owned by eBay.
