Scam?

Received email tonight notifying me of suspicious log-in from Nigeria. Asked me to click a link to verify my account. I did not. Came here to see if my hunch that it's a scam is correct. Anyone?? 

Thanks!

Correct.

 

* Forward the entire email to:    spoof@paypal.com.
* Do not alter the subject line or forward the message as an attachment.
* Delete the suspicious email from your inbox.
* Never click on any links within the email or open any attachments.

Look at the email address domain and wording in the email, grammar, salutation, spelling, etc.  If any of these are questionable, it's most likely a spoof.
