Dear valued PayPal member,

It has come to our attention that your PayPal account information needs to be updated as part of our continuing commitment to protect your account and to reduce the instance of fraud on our website. If you could please take 5-10 minutes out of your online experience and update your personal records you will not run into any future problems with the online service.

However, failure to update your records will result in account suspension. Please update your records on or before May 1, 2008.

Once you have updated your account records, your PayPal session will not be interrupted and will continue as normal.

To update your PayPal records click on the following link:

Thank you,

Be careful. Paypal will never request anyone to update their information with the attached link. As such, this is highly to be one of the scam…

Do share with me your thoughts…

Cheers!
Patrick
