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.
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.
