Hi Jerry,

yes I 'm sure it is a scam ,my husband received the identical message and he hasn't even got a PayPal account and is not linked to mine in any way at all !

There are a quite a lot of scams going about right now by txt as well as email and he has had three different ones to his telephone so is under strict orders not to open anything at all 🤔they are probably hoping that people are so bored being stuck at home that their guard is down.

Yes, I have had this message also.....

"PayPal: You have (1) unresolved block on your account due to unusual activity."

....   just now this morning.   I have recvd it once or twice before too, but its very infrequent.

Its still worrying tho.

Thanks for putting my mind at ease with this resolution commentry.
