I've received email like that, but I noticed one thing. It wasn't Paypal with the letter "l" it was a number "1" instead.

It's a spoof.
I've gotten them from Paypa1, ebay, a bank and the 1RS... be very careful. Don't open any of them! If it says Paypal for instance, leave it alone and go to your paypal account to see it it's OK same for the others. |

Right click on the link and choose "Property". If it's shown, you will see the real URL.

On your paypal page their is a phone number. Call it and they can clear up the situation right away. Someone tried once using my account and I did receive a similar letter. By calling everything was cleared up within minutes
