Got the same email, and i came here looking for info to sent this thing to PayPal for spoof verification. The links do not go to secure HTTP, and they're HUGE. Did not click.   What's more, if this were an issue, and it's not, the same message should have been on my account when I logged in.   PayPal - if you were serious about this you should have sent us an internal email. ...
