When I clicked and logged in I was taken to the following screen and asked following details
First I had to enter my email and password and then I came the this page,
I was asked to enter my credit card information, as my account was restricted ( as per Email) information that was asked included 3 digit security code and ATM PIN no. that made me suspicious, I forwarded the mail to spoof@paypal.com ,and to my shock i got the following reply within 2 mins
"Thanks for forwarding that suspicious-looking email. You're right - it was a phishing attempt, and we're working on stopping the fraud. By
reporting the problem, you've made a difference!

As a security measure i changed my password also.
I just wanted to share my experience with you all , so you can stay alert against all these phishing emails,
In the Screen shot just check that how real the website looks but just look at the address bar, this is not paypal address
