Your PayPal account will close in 30days

[MUNU1]

Received email from PayPal Services stating that "Your PayPal account will close in 30days.  We don't want to say goodbye! We noticed unknown PayPal login."

Outlook has identified the above email as Junk, can you confirm please?

If 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.

Thanks so much, seems weird as I only started with PayPal a few days ago.  Makes a change from multiple emails telling me my email account is going to be closed plus all the other weird emails I'm getting.
