1) This is the email address it was sent from: New@matimes11.com
This isn't the email address of PayPal
2) If I point my mouse at the "click here" link (DON'T click) - this is what I see at the bottom left of my screen: http://217.128.96.163/us/www.paypal.com/webscrcmd=_login-/submit&cmd&dir=5885d80a13/ This is not the web address of PayPal
3) The email doesn't use my registered Paypal information.
Note: to give the email a false air of reality, the scammers have included PayPal's own advise about entering the web address directly into your browser!
NEVER click on a link in a PayPal email - even if you think it might be genuine. ALWAYS enter the address of the PayPal website directly into your browser. If there is a problem with your account you will find information once you have logged into your genuine account.
