Paypal phishing email warning

This morning I received an email asking me to log on and update my paypal account information.
Being naturally suspicious (!) I clicked on the link - which looked like a genuine paypal.com - and I watched the address bar; sure enough the REAL web address popped up just for a second - something like tarjetasexclusives.com with the paypal bit stuck on the end. Firefox stepped in and stopped the page loading with a warning that the site was unsafe; not sure if other browsers would catch it.
The email looks quite good but the subject line gives it away a bit -
'Please Urgent Update Your Accounts Infos' - Paypal may have its faults but I don't think poor English grammar is one of them
I have forwarded it to Paypal as they instruct on their security page..
