I recently received an email from the above sender/address (note the actual domain is payway and not paypal) with the subject "Your account has been temporarliy limited"; the body of the email has the following content:

 

Dear customer,

Your account has been temporarily limited

Click here
to resolve the problem

Thank You.
Rather than use the link above, I logged into my PayPal account using my login name and password and not the link contained within the email and, surprise surprise, my account has not been suspended; the email is a fraud!  It definitely has all the signs of a fraudulent email.  I wonder if PayPal is aware of this.
