Paypal email phising scam

I got this email today and apparently its another paypal phising scam by some scumbag. I know a lot of people using Adsense and other ways to monetize their blog and using Paypal. So if you get similar email like this think first before you click the link. If you dont want to be scammed (read Prudential life - Datamex SCAM) be sure to research first or go directly to Paypal's website .

This email is to inform you that we recently received a report of your account and we need you to confirm your information.
