It's called phishing.

Send the e-mail with complete headers to spoof@paypal.com

Whenever I send anything to spoof@ebay.com or spoof@paypal.com, I always get a response. Actually, usually two--the first acknowledges receipt of the e-mail, the second confirming that it was, in fact, phishing.

If I get a phishing e-mail, I always spend it to spoof@ so they know their company is being targeted, and maybe they can figure out who's doing it.
