Service intl.PayPal.com Scam and Fake Emails That Steal Account Credentials

PayPal users who have received fake emails like the one below from service@intl.paypal.com, which claim their account has been limited, are asked to delete them and should not follow the instructions in them. This is because the fake emails are phishing scams sent by cybercriminals who are attempting to trick their potential victims into visiting a fake PayPal website. Once on the fake website, visitors will be asked to sign-in, but if they attempt to do so, their PayPal account credentials will be sent to the cybercriminals.
