An intrusion from an un-authorized user have triggered our Secure Login Feature (Auto-geolocation analysis shows that it wasn’t you). Currently, your account is limited.
When PayPal limits your account, it means that you won’t be able to do certain things with your account; you might not be able to send or withdraw money (temporarily).
PayPal may limit your account as a security measure to protect you and your account. Access limitation is taken as a pre-caution.
An attachment is given to you through this notification. Please download and open it in your browser to verify your account.
* PayPal will restore your access back to normal after your form is checked and your account is verified.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we hope that this issue will be resolved as soon as possible.
