Hey folks,
I'm not a user of Paypal that much and today I rece'd an emial, with the Paypal logo etc...
"We contacted you a while ago to confirm your identity because you account has reached its limit"
--didn't know there IS a limit!
"...as part of our continuous efforts in complying with regulatory requirements, this is a mandatory process for you to continue using your account and we're limiting your use until this verification is complete."
"To start the process, click the button below to provide us with the required documents before 24hours. We'll then review the documents and update your status within 2 business days. Otherwise, your account will be further limited."
Obviously, I didn't click on the "confirm Your Identity" link.
What say you, community? A scam or legit?

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.
