Scammer tries to be friendly while pretending to be from PayPal

This scam message simply wasn't very convincing. Why would PayPal want to send me to a .tk website? .tk means Tokelau, a part of New Zealand. Also, why would PayPal include me as a bcc? It doesn't matter. The whole email doesn't make any sense. Don't respond to scams like this, don't click the links, don't be fooled. The best response is to delete the message immediately.
