I don't deal with PayPal, so I always have a laugh at the scammer's expense when I receive an email like that.

I sometimes click on these links and enter completely false information. At least it wastes a few seconds of their time. Then I find out where the domain is registered and report it. Only by people reporting it, will the link be deactivated.
