There is a never ending stream of this trash, all originated by that portion of the world that resides under society's sewage line drain grate.
You will also see these arrive telling you that you have a second chance on an item that closed on eBay as well as telling you that you have not responded to a closed eBay auction and a complaint is about to be filed.
As Ed noted, never, never open the link and supply your account number.
Just for the fun of it, I followed along with one of the bogus second chance offers and was asked to pay, sure enough, by Western Union.
In addition to using "spoof@paypal.com" and "spoof@ebay.com" I process the inbound mail using SpamCop in the hopes that the report back to the serving ISP or ISP's might possibly also help. I doubt that it does, I admit.
There is no end of scum to deal with in life and they have now populated the internet thoroughly.
