Unauthorized access to your PayPal account!
Dear Member, we recently noticed more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address.
If you accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you are the rightfull holder of the account, please visit Paypal as soon as possible to verify your identity:
To verify your PayPal account you can also login into PayPal at : https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_registration-run
If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to temporaly suspend your account. Once you have verified your account, your PayPal session will not be interrupted and will continue as normal.
We ask that you allow at least 48 hours for the case to be investigated and we strongly recommend to verify your account in that time.
Thank you.
