Hi Bud,i've had similar."Account suspended / limited due to suspicious activity." Kept the email but not opened it.Looked on account all seems as it should be.

I haven't had this particuler one, but the givaway is the link to ...
ybltn*********/vias/
I wouldn't recommend clicking it.

In fact, Dean, it might be a good idea to edit your post and kill the link, in case someone on here clicks it. It will probably be an on line form where the user enters their card details and sends it to wherever, just not to Paypal.

Cheers
Mick

Just checked, Firefox say it's a reported web forgery, so it's blocked, but can't speak for other browsers, one or two might let that go through.

You can forward any suspicious email to    spoof@paypal.com    they will usually reply confirming if it is a scam, it also helps them track down those responsible for the scams

Good idea Mick, edited as advised.

Had several spoof paypal messages in recent weeks and always passed on the details to spoof@paypal.com and they confirmed they will pursue the fake website. Its a shame they never come back and let you know they have closed the website or are prosecuting the perpetrators.

Hope everyone is keeping safe online
