it says "your account is closed due to security reasons." when i opened it and clicked a link a page came up "this page cannot be displayed". i deleted it. everything seems normal though when i got into Paypal.
anyone else got an email like that?

You got a spoof e-mail. It was not from paypal. You may have downloaded a keylogger when you clicked on that link.
You need to run some scans to make sure you didn't download anything.
Never, Never click on a link in an e-mail that looks like it is from ebay or paypal.
Always log in to those accounts directly.
Also forward the e-mail to "spoof @ Paypal.com
