Paypal Scam

[tinkerbell23]

I saw someone on facebook sharing an allegedly "fake" email from paypal asking you to confirm details and saying that your account is restricted?

I now have the same email....

Beware!!!!!!!

Ignore it. If you've opened the e-mail and/or any attachment, do a full anti-virus scan of your computer.

Most likely a scam. Genuine Paypal emails always address you by name.
