I recieved this e-mail, in fact one of many over the last several weeks, however once logged on through PayPal the website (not the link that was included in the e-mail, there was no notification. Since there are spelling errors and of course the sender made it seem a little off. Has anyone else gotten this type of e-mail stating it is from Paypal? I have had it several years, and this is the first time I am getting an e-mail stating I am violating any agreement.

The Limitations Part Is Correct. However, The Emal Seems A Little Off In A Way But, Please Call In To Phone Support & They Will Gladly Get To You & Let You Know If Your Account Has Been Limited & They Will Take Care of That For! Keep In Mind You Might Need Some Documentations So Please Have Info Such As SSN, Email For Your Account, Phone Number, Etc. Hope I Helped Clarified This Up To You But As For Help With The Limitation IF You Have One On Your Account, Please Contact PayPal Support Via Phone As PayPal Support Via Twitter Cant Discuss Specific Account Situations Such As Cases, Etc. Unless You Want A Status Update. As For The Email, If You Suspsect Spam Then Please Report It To Spoof@paypal.com Thank You!
