I just got an email from "paypal" saying my account had been blocked and to CLICK HERE.
DO NOT DO IT. It is a scam. I checked my account before clicking the link (had just used paypal about 10 min. before I got the email), and my account was just fine. I am assuming it is just a way to get your info.

I get these all the time.  They also come with names of banks they're allegedly being sent from that I don't even do business with.  I don't even bother reading them.  I just delete, delete, delete....

I got the same email about a month ago. I reported the email to Paypal. I guess they couln't stop them. Paypal said they would ALWAYS address any email to me by my first and last name. The one I received did not. By the way, the email did look very authentic with the Paypal logo. It stumped me for a while!

I get those emails all the time. You can forward them to spoofs@paypal.com.
