Message about block PayPal

[Szczepan]

I have received a message, apparently from PayPal, this is the message - Your PayPal has been restricted. You have 12H to confirm the account information or your account will be closed: http://paypal.co.uk.r4bp.pw/m/ Is anyone known something about messages like this ??? Thanks.

Its a spoof, DO NOT 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 link 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.

I never clicked on to any email links from messages like this one, I knew that this is a spoof. Thanks for help.
