Have gotten a handful of these emails in the past. This particular email was sent from customerservice(at)paypall.com Notice the extra *L* in Paypal? Don't fall for these emails and click the links to enter your paypal login info....


Hello William,

As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in the PayPal

We requested information from you for the following reason:

A recent review of your account determined that we require some additional
information from you in order to provide you with secure service.

This is a second reminder to log in to PayPal as soon as possible. Once you log

Once you log in, you will be provided with steps to restore your

safety.

In accordance with PayPal's User Agreement, your account access will remain
limited until the issue has been resolved. Unfortunately, if access to your
account remains limited for an extended period of time, it may result in further
limitations or eventual account closure. We encourage you to log in to your
PayPal account as soon as possible to help avoid this.

To review your account and some or all of the information that PayPal used to
make its decision to limit your account access, please visit the Resolution
Center. If, after reviewing your account information, you seek further
clarification regarding your account access, please contact PayPal by visiting

First its not the real paypal. They are "phishing" and trying to get your PP password...

Second replying to them tells them that this is a valid email and they will then sell it to spammers.

These people need to be hunted down like dogs and shot...

Yeah, I don't respond to emails from things like that. I'll read the email, and then if I think it could be true, then I go to the website for the institution that supposedly sent the email and log in directly. Never use a link from an email unless you are 100% certain of the source.

Said it before, I do the same thing with phone calls from my bank, cc provider, cable, phone you name it.

I ask them what the issue is then tell them very politely that I have no way to verify they are who they say they are and that I will call back on a known number.

Last time it was my CC company re suspicious activity so it was legit but better safe than sorry.

My dad clicked on one from Chase. FORTUNATELY Norton stopped access to the website. I had a "Son to Father" chat with him about safety on the internet. Always wear a condom...
