PayPal email....is this a phish?

207.69.139.7

I have not used my PayPal acct in YEARS. I tried closing it, but we all know how the service at PayPal sucks...try to get a human being! Now I get this email saying that another email addy has been added to my acct. If this an error, go to the PayPal hyperlink, log in, go to Help. So I go to the PayPal website, log into secure page. Only now I get redirected to "We're doing routine maintenance...your acct has been selected for security verification. Wants all my credit card info again. Only this time, I notice the little gold lock is suspiciously absent. So of course I gave them nothing. Questions:
1.)Is this legitimate or not? It LOOKS like their website.
2.)How can I contact these fockers to CLOSE my dormant acct so that it won't get misused, without giving them my information I no longer trust them with, all over again? Does anyone have their 1-800 number?
3.)Anything else I should do? Thanks in advance; this kind of nightmare is exactly why I WONT be using PayPal again, now or ever.
