"Your PayPal Account Has Been Limited" Scam

We noticed some unusual activity

We need your help securing your account to prevent unauthorized access. For your safety, there may be some limitations on your account until you take action.

I got sent this 4 times but my IT mind is always suspicious of these phishing scams and this is what I deal with at work as an IT technician II. It is funny how red flags just start poping up in my head. Also report the scam to spoof@paypal.com I always look for answers https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/security/suspicious-activity. Hopefully no one clicked on the links or input anything.

Account limitations may prevent you from completing certain actions on your account, such as withdrawing, sending or receiving money. They're a security measure that we implement to help protect both PayPal buyers and sellers.

The time it takes to resolve a limitation depends on the type of limitation

on your account.

We suspect that someone have tried to use your account without your consent.

We advise that you immediately confirm your identity with us by filling in the form

that we have attached in this email. Your information will be reviewed by our security team. Furthermore, once we have verified your identity, your account should be restored.

If you have attempted to resolve the problem but find that your account is still limited, check your email in case PayPal has requested further information.

We understand that this can be law frustrating. We hope that you can get this quickly resolved.

Sincerely,
