BEWARE there is a e-mail scam going around stating that
there has been suspicious activity on your account and the
account has been locked.They ask you to log into your account
and this all looks very official even have a I am not a robot
per captia link
DON'T DO IT
it's a scam to get your info contacted pay pal and confirmed this
if you have doubt's log into pay pal on their web site and access
your account
Along these lines...
Never attempt to login to *any* internet account, whether it's financial or not, by clicking on a link in an email. Ever.
Save bookmarks/favorites, and use them to go to the account login page, or use the autofill function of your browser. But do not ever use a link in an email to login to an account.
Forward those to spoof@paypal.com, and let them know about it. They will pursue the scammers.
I'm pretty sure I did get that email, but since I haven't used PayPal for over 5 years now, I just ignored it. I do not care if my account has been frozen.
This is good advice. If you receive an email reporting an issue with an account and you are concerned, go to the account by direct using a bookmarked link or typing the address into your browser. Links is email messages may not always go where the link text says.Quote:

Think before you click.

Yep NEVER click on link from an email tied to any money account. Paypal, your bank, your financial institution. NONE.
Delete the email (or send to paypal in this case) and if you want to check your account, open it up like you normally do.
NEVER use email link. EVER......

Get them all the time. They’re always looking for a way in.
