Suspicious email, pretending to be PayPal?

Hello,

 

I have just received an email from this address: 

issue-account-center@reactive-service.us

which said this: 

 

'We regularly check the activity of your ΡayΡal account. Recently, we found that some of the activities you are violating your agreement with us. Therefore, we have limited your account and can not offer the service for you.'

 

However the email address doesn't have 'paypal' in it or anything so think makes me think that it's a scam, there are no links to paypal or anything in the email, just a blue 'button' that says Resolution Centre.

 

I logged into my PayPal account to see if I've got any notifications to resolve anthing, and I don't, so does anyone have any ideas on what I should do? Also I haven't done anything to volate the agreement or anything like that, that I know of.

 

I've not clicked on the blue button on the email or anything, I'd probably just delete the email, but I'm not sure. It also says I only have 2 Days to resolve the issues in my account, or further action will be taken to limit my account!

 

Any advice or anthing is well appreciated, thanks very much in advance.

Send it to spoof@paypal.co.uk and delete it.

 

Paypal would never tell you to click on a link to sort out a problem with your account, they would tell you to log in normally and go to the resolution centre  >>>
