Paypal
Anyone had emails from Paypal saying their account has been flagged and you need to change your details. It will be closed in 3 days time, then two days time and now 1 days time, etc.
I don't act on these. I have checked my Paypal and there are no messages on my page to do this either.

The first clue to tell if it's a scam email is to check who it's addressed to, you personally or 'dear member' 'dear user' etc
Have a look here:-

Yes, never use the email links to go to Paypal. Always use your normal saved webpage. You can report the email to Paypal, who may ask you to send them the email, or explain how to send the part they need to identify where the email originated from, so they can stop further use of that one. But, like anything else, it won't stop them making a new one.

Yeah, I received one the other day from the Paypal Security Team supposedly, saying I needed a New Security Upgrade. I just ignore and delete. They are from the same kind of people who send me emails from Banks I don't even have accounts with.
Scammers!
