This looked legite especially the amount due. But one clue to it being a scam is the spelling of October.

REAL Paypal page says (hovering over the Welcome bar):
http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_home
fake email link page says:
http://paypal.checking-card.com/webscr.php?cmd=_login-run
One thing I like about Mozilla FireFox. If I type in www.paypal.com I get a YELLOW https: bar which shows that it goes to (automatically) an https (secure) screen.
I don't get a yellow search toolbar on the fake login page from the email.
