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
