Strange PayPal email

Recommended Posts

Saw this today, PayPal asking for sensitive information.
I can access every thing in my account so it doesn't
seem legit, Radar on high alert.
Anyone come across PayPal asking for this sort of information.

Dear Michael ,

PayPal Resolution Center: Your account is limited.

(Your case ID for this reason is PP-0083949****)

PayPal is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening the
accounts in our system. We recently reviewed your account, and we
need more information to help us provide you with secure service. Untill we
can collect this information, your access to sensitive account
features will be limited. We would like to restore your access as soon as
possible, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

This is done for your protection only you, the recipient of this email can
take the next step in the remove limitation process.

Why is my account access limited?

November 14, 2013: We recently determined that different multiple login attempts
have been made on your PayPal account. Because protecting the security of your account
is our primary concern, we have limited access to sensitive PayPal account
features. We understand that this may be an inconvenience but
please understand that this temporary limitation is for your protection.

(Your case ID for this reason is PP-0083949****)

How can I restore my account access?

Please scan these following documents, attach and forward them to documents@paypalfraudcenter.com :

- A clear copy of your Passport, Photographic Drivers Licence or I.D. Card (both sides).
- A clear copy of a recent bank statement on which your name and address are clearly visible.

Completing all of the checklist items will automatically restore your account access.

Thank you for using PayPal!
The PayPal an eBay Company

I get plenty of these emails from PayPal, Bank of America and such.

PayPal doesn't have this email address and I don't have any BoA accounts... pretty easy to tell they're fake even without opening!

I'll bet it didn't come from paypal either.

I'm surprised you even opened it. [:/]



It was in my in box as "service@paypal.com
All other mail from paypal enters as "servicio@paypal.es
so yes I should of been suspicious but I didn't notice it was
written in English

The protocol allows you to fake the senders address so never trust e-mail.
Your rights end where my feelings begin.
