I think this might be bogus. The web address is https://www.paypal.com and i thought the paypal website was http://www.paypal.com a little difference i know but its worth going to the "proper" paypal site and checking or emailing them to an address different from that in the email to confirm it..


I could be wrong it has happened once before ( me being worng not the paypal thing)

Thats my 2 cents NE way

Hope it goes ok and sorts itself out

Cheers

Its spam - I would just delete it. If you ever want to check your account never log in via an email link just to be sure.

If it was sent as dear 'email address' or dear 'paypal member' then it's fake. I have the ebay toolbar which pops up to tell me if it's a fake site. Also Paypal and ebay will never give you a link to click on in an email, they will tell you to log into your account. Report it to spoof@ebay.co.uk
If it's addressed to anything other than your ebay name then it's fake.

It is definately another PayPal phish - but quite a good one - the site looks quite authentic.

As has already been said, never click on "log in" links in e-mails - just go to the usual URL you use. Banks etc will often have a warning about recent scams on their site anyway.
