Dear user,
We recently reviewed your account, and suspect that your PayPal account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party. Protecting the security of your account and of the PayPal network is our primary concern. Therefore, as a preventative measure, we have temporarily limited access to sensitive PayPal account features.
To restore your account access, please take the following steps to ensure that your account has not been compromised:
1. Login to your PayPal account.
2. Confirm your identity by completing the account verification process.
3. Review your recent account history for any unauthorized payments sent or received, and check your account profile to make sure not changes have been made. If any unauthorized activity has taken place on your account, report this to PayPal immediately.

Anybody else get one of these??? BTW, when I visited the link, my eBay toolbar detected it and gave me a pop-up alert. (I knew it was fake, but I always like to go to them, just to see how convincing they are.)
