Notification of limited account access RXI034

SPAM!

Dear member,

As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in the PayPal system. We recently noticed the following issue on your account:

Unusual account activity has made it necessary to limit sensitive account features until additional verification information can be collected.

We have been notified that a card associated with your account has been reported as lost or stolen, or that there were additional problems with your card.

Case ID Number: PP-071-362-996

Please fill in all the details that are required to complete this verification process.

To do this we have attached a form to this email. Please download the form and follow the instructions on your screen. NOTE: The form needs to be opened in a modern browser which has javascript enabled (ex: Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3, Safari 3, Opera 9)

Please understand that this is a security measure intended to help protect you and your account.
We apologize for any inconvenience.

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

Sincerely,
PayPal Account Review Department.



I've received this mail from PayPal just this morning, and what made me suspicious was that it was in my SPAM Folder! WTF? Because of the possibility that "normal" mails ends in my spam folder, I checked the "PayPal mail" and read it. Soon enough I figured that it was B.S.!

Anyway, if you receive the same mail, just ignore it. DO NOT download the attached form! If you want to view it anyway, go here.

This mail is listed in the Spam Collection
