I also received one supposedly from PayPal last week, which I forwarded on
to them and they confirmed as being 'spoof'. Mine said :
"We routinely review account activity within our network and found
an
issue with your account that's preventing a payment from being
processed. We need your help to resolve it and realise that you
may not
be able to respond immediately, so we've acted to protect your
account
by limiting some features, like sending payments. This is a
temporary
measure until the issue's resolved. We apologise for any
inconvenience."
I shall be collecting the reprint copies of my book 'Needlelace Designs &
Techniques' next week and naturally was concerned as it will be available
from me, and payment can be made using PayPal for overseas buyers. I didn't
want there to be any problems! I am receiving similar emails on a regular
basis supposedly from ebilling at BT who are my service provider!

Subject: [lace] PayPal scam
Recently, I received an email from "[email protected]" which asked me to
sign into a link and confirm my paypal information for "security
purposes". I smelled a rat and called PayPal to alert them. They
confirmed my suspicion that this was a scam and said any time they send an
email, they address it to the user name with which I am subscribed, and
not, "dear user".
So, if you receive a similar email, please either delete it immediately,
or forward it to Pay-Pal so they can get to the bottom of it.
