i have never tried to attempt to log in at my Paypal account since last month or more than two months already. well maybe someone is trying to log in or maybe this email came from a hacker or a scammer.

It is a fraud e-mail. Is this your first one? This fake email is nothing compared to liberty reserve, I get 20 emails regrading about my account suspended! Can you believe that?

If you want to make sure that the email is legit, do what they ask by logging from your bookmarks not from the email.

20 emails? wow thats a lot. i log in at my account just to refresh it and i hope it was okay. but i didnt use the link they were giving, i just log in on a different page just to prove that i never forget my password and that i am not the one who is trying or attemping to log in. thanks a lot for the response

I haven't received any email like that from Paypal. I also forgot the password of my account and have several failed log-in attempts but they didn't send me any emails like that. I was able to figure out what was my password, I didn't log-in to my account for2 years so I have forgotten my password in the first place but I am lucky to try and retrieve my account again. I think that you have received a scam email as there are a lot of scam emails from others lately and it will say that its from Paypal even if its not, so be careful next time.

I got something like this a few times. I believe it's because someone wants to get to your account and failed to log-in. Because one time I had tried to log in but forgotten the password, so I tried a few times. I did receive this kind of message in my email the next day. So I was grateful they did freeze it temporarily. I got log-in correctly after I went throught the lost password process.

halo there,
..
Be careful if you are not sure for anything.
If you want the correct answer, we must contact the paypal for futher explanation what is happen. Do not share your account login to anyone at anyway. In this case it called phising. Sometime i have such email too
, but i just ignore it.
have a nice day. happy myLotting..

Never, ever log into your PP account from an email link. If you get an email that appears to be from them, go to your account directly from your browser and if the email is legit you will see the same information onthePP site.
