Dear valued PayPal
member:
We have noticed several attempts of fraud. Seems like somebody
tried to hack into your account. Your account requires URGENT attention. You are able to log into your account
but all your payments are suspended untill you update your personal information. Identity protection
matters. And PayPal works day
and night to help keep your identity safe. That's why it has
come to our attention that your PayPal
account information needs to be updated as part of our
continuing commitment to protect your account and to reduce
the instance of fraud on our website. If you could take 5-10
minutes out of your online experience and update your
personal records you will not run into any future problems
with the online service.
However, failure to update
your records will result in account suspension.
Once you have updated your account records, your PayPal session will not be interrupted and will continue as normal.
To login to your
PayPal account and update your records
click on the following personal PayPal link:
