After getting my own 'your account has been limited' e-mail I read through this topic. My message was a little different, but basically it's the same thing. It looks professional enough to be from Paypal, but it was suspicious enough for me to not click the 'update your informations' button. Also, I checked my Paypal account and it's fine and when I opened the message the sender was listed as '[removed] (removed the actual address, but it really did end with outlook.com 'I've forwarded it to the e-mail adress mentioned in the article 'I received an email from PayPal-how do I know it's genuine?'
So here is another version of it:

How do I know this is not a Spoof email? An email really come from PayPal must be sent from this address (removed because it's not allowed to post the e-mail adress, but it looked like the genuine sevice paypal address). If you receive any email from other address it will be usually an attempt at fraud. Also, fake emails often contain misspellings and grammatical errors or are written in a language which you did not set as preferred for your PayPal account. Remember not to click any links in suspicious looking emails.
