    Just a heads up for a pretty damned obvious attempt to get you to log in to a fake addy.
    How to activate your PayPal account


    Dear PayPal Costmuer,

    To get back into your PayPal account, you'll need to relog in in your account.

    It's easy:

    Click the link below to open a secure browser window.
    Confirm that you're the owner of the account, and then follow the instructions.

    Relog in your account now


    Before log in your account will be activated let us know right away. Reporting it is important because it helps us prevent fraudsters from stealing your information.

    Please don't reply to this email. It'll just confuse the computer that sent it and you won't get a response.

    Thanks for the heads up but didn't receive that email yet.

    Also I find that bolded text was quite amusing as well.
