I've recently received an email with that title and the request is for me to follow the enclosed links and confirm my information in order to keep money in my account. This is more of a rant than it is a question because upon reading the email, I thought it was bogus and an attempt to spam or defraud me...then I looked at at the address and THAT looked legitimate. Specifically, the following was copied from the email:
"Confirm your info to keep money
in your PayPal balance.
If you'd like to keep a PayPal balance, please
take a minute to confirm your info here."
The address was from PayPal but this site won't allow me to copy and paste the actual email address.
Understand, I am following the advice from PayPal, as well as many other secure sites, to NOT respond to this type of email. Even though the address looks valid as PP, I will not confirm my info as there is no benefit from my confirming the information since, I have my account set up the way I like it. I feel that their sending such an email will only lead to confusion by your patrons and PP should not create the types of correspondence that ask you about your information.
I therefore recommend to you that you cease and desist from this kind of emails in the future. You are wasting MY time, as well as yours by doing so.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi @Harpman59,
I'm sorry for any confusion. In the image that was rejected, there was still an email address. Even if it isn't your email address, no email addresses are permitted in the Community Forum.

Hi @Harpman59,
I'm sorry again for any confusion. If even the sending email address was visible, the image would have been denied. Please review the image that you submitted.
Regarding your original question, please follow the instructions here for the handling of any email that you believe may be a phishing email. If the email seems legitimate and you are reluctant to follow any links (as is a wise precaution), you can always open a fresh browser window and visit paypal.com and complete any steps the email indicated should be completed there.
I hope this helps.
