Is anyone else getting these emails?? I think it is a spam. I pasted it below.
Dear Customer,
we emailed you a little while ago to ask for your help resolving an issue with your PayPal account. your account is still temporarily limit because we haen't heard from you.
understand it may be frustrating not to have full access to your PayPal account. we want to work with you to get your account back to normal as quickly as possible.
What's the problem ?
We noticed some unusual activity on the credit card linked to your PayPal account.

Looks like a spoof so NEVER USE ANY LINK.
Firstly if the email/text addressed you as ''Dear Member'' / ''Customer'' / ''Client'' OR your ''email address'' then that confirms its a spoof as paypal would address you by your full name eg Dear John Smith.
Secondly if there was a link OR attachment in that email/text to ''cancel'' any transaction or ''confirm'' any details then again it would be a spoof.
If there was a problem with your account Paypal would not ask you to click on an unsafe link in an email or by downloading an attachment, they would direct you to log in normally and go to the resolution or the message centre for more information.
