Do I need to be worried by the email (copied below) that I have recieved purporting to be from Paypal. It had no logos and no attachments as it mentions). As far as I know there has been no unusual account activity!

Tenrec, it's a phishing email, I get these often. Forward it to spoof@
On no account click the link (unless of course you HAVE reported your card lost or stolen, but then you should go in via their web page, not via a link in an email!)
