Future Possibilities of the Internet

We all have known that PayPal is the safer, easier way to pay and get paid online. But recently I received an email claiming they are from PayPal. I opened and read through its content:

We have recently noticed one or more attempts to log into your PayPal account from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to believe that your account may have been hijacked by a third party without your authorization.

If you recently accessed your account while traveling, the unusual login in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you are the rightful holder of the account, click on the link below to log into your account within the above-mentioned period.

If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporaly suspend your account.

We ask that you allow at least 72 hours for the case to be investigated and we strongly recommend to verify your account in that time. 

If you received this notice and you are not the authorized account holder, please be aware that it is in violation of PayPal policy to represent oneself as another PayPal user. Such action may also be in violation of local, national, and/or international law. PayPal is committed to assist law enforcement with any inquires related to attempts to misappropriate personal information with the intent to commit fraud or theft. Information will be provided at the request of law enforcement agencies to ensure that perpetrators are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Thanks for your patience and understanding as we work together to protect your account.

Sincerely,

PayPal Account Review Department

Notice: There have been quite a few "Pay Pal" emails circulating asking for account information.  While these are designed to appear as if they are coming directly from pay pal - THEY ARE NOT.  These are fraud attempts to trick the user into submitting your account information.  If you have received email anything similar, DO NOT supply ANY information to these email bandits.  If you wish to access, verify, or change ANY pay-pal information - go directly to the paypal secure site at: https://www.paypal.com site, and login through their secure server.
