I've reported it to paypal, but always, always remember that ebay and paypal both will send correspondence with you NAME on it, never as 'user'.

Never reply to this crap. If you're worried, go at them the long way around.

Over the years, I have received a few of those types of messages.  BUT, ever since (MANY years ago) I fell for a scheme very similar to that, and gave out my Yahoo password, I have not fallen for a stunt like that again.  

Fortunately, when my Yahoo id and password were scammed off me, it was just to send out junk mail.

It always pays to be leery.

The only time that I know you to be Julie, is when we check into the motel ...

A woman I work with fell for that - put in all her credit cards and all her bank info, even though paypal had none of that. She only lost a few hundred $.

No, I didn't laugh. Felt sorry for her AND wanted to smack some sense into her.
