Well, I've wondered about that, since I didn't see mention of the PayPal promotion here. In fact, it's now got me wondering if the email was bogus to begin with. I'm gonna go back and take a closer look at the email I received.

Later:

I reviewed the email, it looks legit. It had a link to this site:
https://www.paypal-promo.com/cashbac...slp/index.html

When I click the link from the email, the web address has some code numbers appended to the address, which may be individually-identifying info, so I removed them from the end of the address above.

There was no requirement to provide sensitive information or even click a "register" button, evidently you're automatically enrolled if you get the email. It must be targeted.
