That is a common one. All you have to do is look at the link and will usually be a domain leading you to something other than PayPal. Note for others, do not be fooled because you see "paypal" in the address such as paypal.fakedomainname.com. The best thing you can do if you want to verify is to go the web site by typing in the address in the address bar.

I can see no activity I need to worry on and changed passwords and the hints to be safe. The words in the link looked fine and were the paypal but I just found that there was some issues.

Anytime I get a paypal notice to a none registered e-mail address I know it is a scam and just delete it.
