Ya, I received couple of them a year back. I've seen scam warnings all over so I was wary especially when I saw the word 'please update' - one of the key words for detecting scammers. So what I did was to hover my cursor over their links and compare them with the ones on actual paypal site. And not surprisingly, they were different so I just ignored the emails...

Because they are probably the same people who create the virus and do the email scams. Wankers. I end up rebooting the computer.
