Paypal Scam?
9 Answers
Just received this - which I'm highly suspicious of so am sending it off to the Paypal spoof dept. It wasn't addressed to me personally e.g Dear Mrs Ann as it should be. A clever scam methinks. So be aware folks!
This is what the email says - it seems to be from Paypal Australia as it has a .au in the address.

the only bona fide e-mails from paypal are 1 if you have changed your password, 2 if you have made a purchase. i have recieved dozens saying either that they have limited my account or suspended it then this weekend one saying that i had a purchase worth £314 pending and asked me to say if it was genuine. all of these were phishing excercises. don't fall for it!!!!
