I have been getting a lot of emails pretending to be from paypal

I cut and paste email
Dear PayPal client,

You have received this email because you or someone had used your account from different locations. For security purpose, we are required to open an investigation into this matter.

In order to safeguard your account, we require that you confirm your details.
To help speeed up this process, please access the following link so we can complete the verification of your PayPal Account registration information.

http://paypal.com NOTE AFTER I CUT AND PASTE TO THIS FOURM THE LINK IS A DIRECT LINK TO PAYPAL, BUT ON THE EMAIL IT ONLY BRINGS YOU TO THE BELOW URL http://freeradiolog.co.uk/images/
If we do not receive the appropriate account verification within 24 hours, then we will assume this PayPal account is fraudulent and will be suspended.

The purpose of this verification is to ensure that your account has not been fraudulently used and to combat the fraud from our community.
We appreciate your support and understanding and thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
When I clicked on the link I was brought to a paypal home page but on the address bar I notice it was not a paypal address but this http://freeradiolog.co.uk/images/

I clicked on some of the tabs like contact us but nothing happen but when I typed a few letters in the window for address and password it would allow , so its a trap folks, they are just phishing for your info and pretty good at it
