Dear PayPal user,
We recently reviewed your account and suspect that your PayPal account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party. Protecting the security of your account and of the PayPal network is our primary concern therefore we have temporarily limited access to sensitive PayPal account features.
To restore your account access please take the following steps to ensure that your account has not been compromised:
1. Confirm your identity by completing the account verification process.
2. Click the "Confirm" button at the bottom of this page. You will be taken to the Data Security and Encryption page.
3. Login to your PayPal account and review your recent account history for any unauthorized payments sent or received and check your account profile to make sure no changes have been made. If any unauthorized activity has taken place on your account report this to PayPal immediately.
To get started please click the "Get Started" link below.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your assistance in helping us maintain the integrity of the entire PayPal system. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
Thank you for using PayPal!
