[Mysticalmeander]

hi,

i have receieved a text on my mobile saying

your paypal account has been limited due to some of your recent transactions. to remove your account limitation, click on the link below:

i havent used paypal in months and cant see an account limitation when i just logged in anywhere, however, i am a novice user of paypal so i might not be looking in hte right area.

Is this a paypal message or an attempt at a fraud by someone.

The number has come through as VerifyPayPa on my phone

Seems a bit odd you received a text message - hopefully, you logged into your PayPal Account using your web browser and "not" via any links..  If you did not see any messages in your account concerning the status - then there's a good chance the text was a spoof whereas someone is trying to get your login info.
