I recieved an email from service (at) paypal  saying that my account had been limited. I clicked on it and entered my password. I don't know what I was thinking. It seemed fishy, but I was dumb and I trusted it. What do I do now? I reported both the site and email to PayPal. Is my password in jeopardy? I changed the password for my PayPal and email account. I removed my bank from my PayPal account. What do I do now?

As long as you have changed your password to a strong one then you should be ok but just keep an eye on your account for a while.

Thank you. I was suspicious, but I should've really looked at it better. I'll keep a watchful eye on my account.

I got the same email today 3/18/15. It really did look legitimate but I went to my PP account (not through their link) to check. Always check on your own whether it is an email, text, phone call.
