Hmm...are you expecting a payment from somebody for this amount, or is this just some random thing?

PayPal doesn't have "certified checks" so that's odd. Can you post a screenshot of what you're seeing?

It sounds like it's potentially a phishing attempt, trying to get you to use a bogus login form to enter your PayPal email and password, which you do NOT want to do, of course. I would just open a browser and login to your PayPal account directly. If you've received any money you'll see it there.

PayPal says that there is no activity on my account and they have took control of 2 accounts one for $43.000 and the other was $20,000 and know my family is helping me out after my child had a motorcycle wreck and is paralyzed from the neck down. I need my money and check.I have done Paypal no wrong and yet PayPal has just got my money. My home address is    **removed**      **removed**.       Etowah TN. 37331 Me and my family would really appreciate it if You would send the check to that address I just gave You. I really cannot afford to give a $10.000  retainer to a lawyer but I will if my family is gonna do without anyway. That check is legal and if You do not believe it we can and probably come see You!!! Who is Your Supervisor and I need PayPals corporate number.I did not know what happened to that check, ad have You ever thought PayPal may have wrote that check? If You think a crime has been commited call the police and get a Detective to investigate.  Just to think that You kept that and done some thievery with that check.If somebody does not mail my check soon then I will not hesitate to give a lawyer at least $10.000 that I cannot afford, somebody will loose their job.

I still have not received my check. I get notifications all the time about payments have been in my PayPal account and n 2 months 8 to12 hours a day there has not been a penny put in my PayPal account. I just wish someone would tell me why. I am doing all I can to take care of my son and yet PayPal seems like they are breaking his neck again and does not want him to ever walk again and just to stay paralyzed. Jut remember. A MAN REAPS WHAT HE SOWS. I did not say that but JESUS CHRIST KING OF KINS AND LORD OF LORDS said that.   GOD BLESS ALOL OF YOU!!!
