    Until we can confirm the information you've given us, we need to limit most of the functionality on your account. For now, you can continue to receive payments but you won't be able to withdraw funds or make payments.

    You have 48 hours to provide this information. If we don't hear from you by then, we'll need to restrict your PayPal accountIf your account is restricted, you won't be able to send, transfer or receive funds..
    If your account is restricted, you won't be able to send, transfer or receive funds.

    Type paypal url by hand, NEVER click email link.

    AFAIK paypal don't send emails like that so it's 666% fraud.

    And forward aforementioned email to Paypal.

    [...] Fake PayPal emails or spoof websites

    If you received what looks like a fake PayPal email, or you've come across a fake PayPal website, please report it to us by forwarding the original email or URL to spoof@paypal.com. Do not enter any financial or personal information. Do not click on any links or download any attachments. [...]

    It's a scam, a person on Facebook got caught last week for over €800. Be careful guys.

    Go into your PayPal account and click resolution centre from there, sometimes you do need to update your account as an example if you recieved more than 2100 since opening the account, if this is the case you will see a option to resolve issue in your paypal account.

    But DONT click on resolution centre link on the email as that will more then likely be a scam
