Hi Woodstock1956,

Welcome to the forum!

This is definitely a scam email that was not sent by PayPal.  We will never ask you to click a link in our Notification of Limited Account Access emails.  Please forward this email to spoof@paypal.com .

I'm glad you checked on this.  If you entered your password or any other information after clicking the link in the email, that information is most likely compromised.  In that case, it would be a good idea to change your password for any online accounts that used that password.
