I just got several emails from service@paypals.com (note "paypals" not paypal) with the subject "Your account is limited", "Please restore your account access". The body of the email states:
*********************************************
Dear sir/madame,
As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in the PayPal system. We recently contacted you after noticing an issue on your account.
We requested information from you for the following reason:
We have observed activity in this account that is unusual or potentially high risk.
Case ID Number: PP-589-124-047
This is a second reminder to log in to PayPal (http://sv19.dfserver19.com/~chillout/init/w/webscr.php?cmd=_login-run) as soon as possible. Once you log in (http://sv19.dfserver19.com/~chillout/init/w/webscr.php?cmd=_login-run), you will be provided with steps to restore your account access.
In accordance with PayPal's User Agreement, your account access will remain limited until the issue has been resolved. Unfortunately, if access to your account remains limited for an extended period of time, it may result in further limitations or eventual account closure. We encourage you to log in (http://sv19.dfserver19.com/~chillout/init/w/webscr.php?cmd=_login-run) to your PayPal account as soon as possible to help avoid this.
To review your account and some or all of the information that PayPal used to make its decision to limit your account access, please visit the Resolution Center.
