This day PayPal messaged me. They informed me I'm restricted to open my account to confirm if it's me owner. They noticed something fishy activities. But I never responded and never opened my account. There are so many things they offered me. They offered $ 5 as gift. I think this is the syndicate who took my 6 ,000 retained in PayPal. I shared about it to you here. Please give me your opinion if this message is fishy or not? Also, tell me if you receive 5 dollars from PayPal? I don't know why PayPal is loving me this way . Image shown here screened shot of PayPal message via email.

PayPal ALWAYS addresses you by your name. This is fake.

@LadyDuck, yes I understand now. The Salutation isn't my name. How come there's a case. There are so many bad humans this time wanting to harm the innocents. Thanks so much.

@LadyDuck , I reported that fishy account to Yahoo .These scammers thought that I am still using the same email add. I am using another email add when I opened a new PP account. This kind of group play havoc to humans. I have lost my 6,000 plus pesos I retained in PayPal. That was accumulated amount from different sources.

I did received 5$ from paypal and I also quickly cash it out via gcash. Ive been using paypal for so long now and i have no problem from them. I usually dont open links from emails. I log in directly to their site or apps.

@kaguvkob,really? But when I log on there's no 5 dollar shown. I'm also using PayPal for 13 years now.

No, of course is a phishing maneuver. Just hover with your mouse on the email address, you will see in the bar the actual real email address

After a hacked message from my Bank long time ago, I never open any mails from the Bank or from any place such as it. Go to Pay pal directly and see what is happening.

@RebeccasFarm, tis day I reported them to Yahoo. This might be the same group who stole my money in PayPal 2 years ago. They are thinking I am using the same email add, no way.

I never get a $5 offer from PayPal, and I often get this message in emails that I didn't register with PayPal so as admin and others have told to you.
