-
Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at PayPal by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.
- PayPal never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.
-
The spoof website this email links to was not online at time of this report, but variations of the scam which link to working websites are bound to exist, so be wary! The website may have been taken down or disabled by the hosts, but quite often these websites are hosted on the personal computer of the phishers, so may only be online at certain times.
-
The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual PayPal URL.

Resolution Center: Your account is limited.
(Your case ID for this reason is PP-141-663-845.)
PayPal is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening
the accounts in our system. We recently reviewed your account, and we
need more information to help us provide you with secure service. Untill
we can collect this information, your access to sensitive account features
will be limited. We would like to restore your access as soon as possible,
and we apologize for the inconvenience.
This is done for your protection only you, the recipient of this email can
take the next step in the remove limitation process.
Why is my account access limited?
March 01, 2006: We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by
a third party. Because protecting the security of your account is our primary
concern, we have limited access to sensitive PayPal account features.
We understand that this may be an inconvenience but please understand that
this temporary limitation is for your protection.
(Your case ID for this reason is PP-141-663-845.)
How can I restore my account access?
Please visit the Resolution Center and complete the
"Steps to Remove Limitations."
Completing all of the checklist items will automatically restore your
account access.
Thank you for using PayPal!
