There is a PayPal scam going around again, basically your account is suspended and you need to use the link they supply to verify your information.
It all looks legit on these emails, sooo be smart and just disregard it.

Re: another PayPal scam
It's called ..PHISHING ....(here in the uk ) They get hold of your email address, and take a chance, that you have a paypal account! I get 4-5 phishing emails a day. NEVER.. NEVER use the link, that comes with the email. Just go to your pay pay (of any bank your with ) and log on through there!
I have had emails from banks (that i'm not with ) saying. Your bank account has been suspended, and you need to log in, through the link below, and put in your, log in details. It's a scam... I have told my bank before, and was told to NOT open any links, just to delete it.

Re: another PayPal scam
A lot of people seem to forget as well that sites such as PP and others will never ask you for personal information. If you need to contact them because something needs updating with your account, you have to go to their website first.

Re: another PayPal scam
There is a very simple way around this and any other attempt like it. If you receive an email about an account NEVER respond or check your account through the links in the email. Open your browser and use the web site as you would any other time to manage your account. I use the same strategy with phone calls as well. I don't give the caller any information. I hang up and call the business back myself using phone numbers I know are correct.
