Signed up for paypal 2 weeks ago, and then this came in the
mail as a link
in a paypal looking html email asking me to confirm by
entering my credit
card/account info.

Be cluefull:

1) Don't ever click a link with an ip address.
2) Don't ever put your cc info into any site you did not directly go to and
trust.
3) nslookup 218.62.43.30 - Non-existent domain
   nslookup paypal.com - 64.4.241.16
