i'm lost ! i realise its a known scam, but i cant see how the scammers get anything out of it. the link does seem to go to something on paypals official site...is the actual url you go to different..?

ah.. yep just checked that link above takes you to official site. However, the link in the email does not! It reads the same but once clicked it takes you to a fake page.
currently- ~.drgreganderson.com/images/webscr.dll
But likely doctor greg anderson has been hacked and dont even realise its on his pages. That will be removed and the link will go elsewhere but you will not realise, because its labelled as above on the email which you think is paypal official. Once the details are entered on the fake page, wherever its set up, those details will be used to remove your funds at the best time possible, ie when you have loads in account.
Very dodgy.
