I'm sure it's suss so I opened a new browser and logged in as usual, and there was nothing wrong with my account or email address so just thought I'd post in case anyone gets sam 

please don't follow the link.

I've had the same email, Plus another one stating "

Yep looks like a typical spoof so NEVER 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/text 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 had the exact same email however when I tried to follow the link outlook blocked it and reported it as ‘unsafe’ thank god. So it looks like you guys on here have worked and it’s now blocked.
