I had this mail from
services@paypal.com with reply address
0683-t2js-xljP@noreplay.paypal.com.
Important Resolution Notice to
ketil@esato.com
PayPal is constantly working to ensure security by regularly screening the accounts in our system.
We recently reviewed your account, and we need more information about your business to allow us to provide uninterrupted service.
We would like to return your account to regular standing as soon as possible
To continue using PayPal's service without interruption, you will need to answer a few questions about your account and you may be asked to complete a short series of steps on the PayPal website. The purpose of this is to verify your identity and business information, as applicable.

Then it's likely it was an email from somewhere else wanting you to sign in via the email and therefore send you email address and password to whomever created the email. Don't worry about it mate
Just never sign in directly from an email, go to the main site first.
That's how scammers got into my cousins ebay account, by sending a convincing email which he then "signed in" from.

That's what I was afraid of.
I took a gamble, logged on through
www.paypal.com, went to Resolution Center and entered the case ID provided in the email:
The case ID entered was not in the PayPal case ID format. Please enter your case ID in the following format: **-***-***-***
Cheers guys.

It's definately a scam! I get loads of those kinds of emails, pretty much every day. I would never log in by clicking a link, I'd got to the Paypal site then log in. I foolishly got caught out clicking one of these links and 'logging in' to my Ebay account from one of these emails when the scam was just starting, and before i knew it my sales got cancelled and someone had listed a motorbike on my account! And my email got hijacked too. I think i'm on one of their 'idiot' lists now, so keep getting phishing emails frequently.
Some are getting quite sophisticated, and do say something very similar to the https:// etc. official Paypal login site.
Disregard this notice, it's one of those 'phishing' emails.

A lot of effort because theoretically they have a LOT to gain! But it doesn't look convincing to me.... but then again all my paypal email goes to junk anyway!
They only need a few people out of thousands to reply through it to make it worth their while; they will ultimately have access to their funds!
