Not having got any e-mail back from paypal and being somewhat concerned,
I phoned them up.

They said it was just dumb luck, that they phisher doesn't know that I
have a paypal account, and doesn't know that I've been travelling - around
xmas, almost everyone is travelling.

I also confirmed that the amount payed out by paypal on my behalf
was what I expected.

Paypal also says that any mail I get from them will be addressed to
me by name, rather than "Dear PayPal Member" (as happened with me).
