The e-mail is supposed to come from PayPal (updates-int@paypal.net) and is with an attachment "Restore_your_account_PayPal.html", it's about 10.3KB in size. The e-mail itself originated from Korea (ne07.tt.co.kr [211.47.69.62]).
It states:

We would like to restore your access as soon as possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience.Download and fill out the form to resolvethe problem and then log into your account.Thanks ,PayPal
If they have access to my account information, would it not have greeted using my name? This is by far the weakest of spoofed e-mails involving PayPal. It does not have the standard legal disclaimer, it does not have the security statement, everything that would make it more believable.
