This is a recent PayPal Scam that is going around. The goal is to scare people into rash decisions, calling the phone number to quickly cancel the order. The person on the other side would claim the computer was compromised, and that they needed to install an antivirus to clean it up.
What to do next?
If you have received this email, or an email similar to this report it to PayPal.
