Recently, I just received an email from so-called "Paypal Security Advisory" telling me that my paypal account has been limited. I was quite shocked at first so I quickly click on the link. In the end, it redirects me to another website. Luckily, my browser blocked the content of the website due to possible malicious content. Then I went back to check my paypal account and realised that it's still working properly. When I further examined the email, I realised that the email is not from @paypal.com so I think it could be a possible scam attempt. Anyone also received the same email? How did you react?

I get a lot of phishing scams like that. Send suspicious emails to spoof@paypal.com, and they will tell you that's it not a site from them, and they may have more resources to figure out where they come from.

Friend, what you have encountered is a phishing site. It would require your login details right?
I was sent an email too like that but it was regarding my libertyreserve. Luckily my browser detected it also as a phishing site, beware of those sites. you could check the url bar is it is genuinely from paypal or not.
