As per the request of some users, I have uploaded a photo of an email sent to me by services@paypal.com
This email looked legit but when I looked at the website from the link (which i did not click), It was not going to take me to paypal. For this reason I did not click the link.
When I forwarded this message to spoof@paypal.com they assured me thta this was a scam email. Please do not fall for this!
Just looking out for you! Thanx for reading!

Has anyone warned paypal about this scam?
So that they can send a genuine warning notice/alert to their user to avoid being scammed in future
Thanks for alerting us here

yes I also received an two emails saying they were paypal and due to inactivity I had to log into my account to keep them from shutting me down. I knew it was a scam because my account is active but some people may not know if it is real or not. Beware everyone Do Not Log into your paypal through emails.

I recieved an email from paypal a while ago saying that my bank wasnt verified still and I do to go to a certain site to do it. I never went to the site. I logged into my paypal and realized it said I was still verified so I didnt know what was really going on at that time. I just ignored it though.
