[OM] Fake Paypal message

I just received the message below from "Paypal" saying they are trying to locate inactive customers to keep them on their list. They are asking for credit card numbers, ATM PINs, and passwords. Looks real official. I wonder how many people fall for this scam.
Where should I report this.
