Received the same scam email.
I called the number and the person at the other end was going to "guide me through" how to cancel this request. Did I have a C T R L key in the bottom left on my keyboard? When I asked how to find the request in my PayPal, again I was asked "did I have a C T R L key in the bottom left on my keyboard". When I told him to just tell me what I needed to do that I am not an idiot HE hung up on me.
Very happy with that result.
