in regards to those suspicious emails, there are varies ways to tell whether or not it is fake, of course the first is to check the header but most people do not realize you can veiw a full header to find out all sorts of information. Of course another thing is to never NEVER click on any links in any emails but to manually go to the required address (i.e. paypal) and also to never download any "forms" they may say you need to fill out. If you ever receive an email from paypal saying your account is limited due to suspected fraudulant activities and you need to download a form to fill out and email in, always check the information in the header and call paypal to verify if you have been limited or not. If you find you havent then you need to forward the email you received to paypals fraud department.
