Paypal Australia - possible scam?

Hi,
I have just received half a dozen emails supposedly from Paypal Australia suggesting I have set up a business account. I have not, so I suspect something has gone wrong or this is a scam.
Anyone else out there had similar?
Kind Regards,
Bill

Probably a scam. Look carefully at the email address that the emails came from. Is it really PayPal?
If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.2 -
6 Emails I received, all from what looks like service@paypal.com.au within 2 minutes.
No 1 - Please confirm your information to continue to use Paypal - 14:55.
No 2 - Please provide more info to start using your account - 14:55.
No 3 - Set up your PayPal business account - 14:55.
No 4 - Next confirm your email address - 14:55.
No 5 - your account has been restored - 14:56.
No 6 - Your details have been updated - 14:56.
Obviously I did not click any links or do anything in respect of these emails.
Odd or what?
Bill
