Today we had some trouble with
one of our computer systems. While the trouble appears
to be minor, we are not taking any chances. We decided
to take the troubled system offline and replace it
with a new system. Unfortunately this caused us to
lose some member data. Please follow the link below
and log into your account to make sure your information
is not affected. Account balances have not been affected.
Because of the inconvenience this causes we are giving all users that repair their missing data their next two incoming transfers for free! You will pay no fees for your next two incoming transfers*.

Thank you for using PayPal!
* - If fees would normally apply, you will not pay
anything for the next two incoming transfers you receive.
