Shreyas Zare:

From the limited email details you gave, it looks like the message
didn't actually come from PayPal.

Did you actually receive the ten cent deposit into your account?

If I was to wager, just based upon what I see here - I'd say you
didn't.  This looks more like a fishing (aka phishing) attack.  But,
if I'm wrong in my guess - please let me know!
