I would think that email is a scam ehansen. What I do when I get these emails is click on the link below and find out who owns the ip address. In this case "211.229.208.136" Just cut and paste the number into the search box in the link and hit the button.
http://www.arin.net/whois/index.html
or
http://www.apnic.net/apnic-bin/whois.pl
This is what i found when I did a search on this ip.
inetnum: 211.226.0.0 - 211.231.255.255
netname: KORNET
descr: KOREA TELECOM
descr: KOREA TELECOM Internet Operating Center
country: KR
admin-c: DL276-AP

Wow! Who would have thought that paypal ran their servers through a Korean ISP.
I thought you all might like another handy tool to keep the bottom feeders at bay.
Cheers,
Adrian
