Possible Paypal email scam!
Today I recieved an email claiming to be from Paypal, saying that they conduct regular account activity screening and noticed that my account may be being accessed by someone other than myself.
However, the sender of this email was from "accounts@paypaI.com", not paypaL.com. Also, a link provided in the email to update my account info for security reasons lead to some crazy-ass site, definitely not Paypal for sure. I didn't click the link, but checked its Properties first to see its address.

So if any of you recieve an email like this saying its Paypal, check whom its coming from and the link provided, without clicking the link though.

I get hundreds of these every week, nowadays... it's gotten progressively worse over the ears. PayPal has pretty much said that they do not ever actually conduct any sort of account checks like this and to disregard the e-mails completely.
