I received the same but it was from service-PayPal.com

That is a legitimate Pay Pay address. They used my name which is their protocol. The IP address said "Pay Pay" on Whois. What am I missing?

Don't recognize this request?

PayPal won't contact you about your account through a money request. If you don't know this person, decline this request. Never send money to anyone you don't know and never open links, download attachments, or call any listed phone numbers that you're unsure about. If you want to ensure you're reaching PayPal's Customer Service, use the info at the bottom of this email or check PayPal.com. Check out common scams and how to spot them.

They put a request right to my Paypal with the same exact dollar amount. I removed everything from my PayPal. I had another incident with them earlier in the year and they refused to believe it wasn't my charge. The lady literally said no you did it when it was all the way on the other side of the state.
This was the Paypal Request I just got

This request has been cancelled. You'll see it in your Completed transactions soon.

I got this scam today, Nov 30, 2022.
-
Seemingly, it was sent from a Dutch email address, service-paypal.nl, but with an English text explaining, and which claimed I ordered from NETSPARKER for an amount of $487. I never heard of this brand (it's an old name). The phone number mentioned to call is 1-866-273-5387.

I suspected a scam immediately and found this article to prove it. Thanks.

They will try to charge your PayPal even if you don’t contact them. Make sure you have confirmation set up on paying apps so they don’t go though right away
