PayPal Notification: Posibile Account Theft

I received this in the Spam box of my Gmail. The email address looks correct, the links looks correct too. But I have heard quite a few scammer using this trick to get people's password for their paypal of other online services, so just ignore this mail. One thing to note, Gmail actually warn me that this mail may not be from where is claim to be. Really impressed by Gmail.

{Warning: This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal information.} Gmail Actually showing me that the email may not be from paypal. What a good service they have.
