Attention Paypal users: never log in to non-Paypal addresses (phishing attempts)

Frederique,
έλαβα και εγώ παρόμοιο μήνυμα:


Subject: Your account has been limited (Routing Code: C300-L001-Q190-T1830)‏
From: service@in​tl.paypal.c​om


Dear χχχχχχχ,
 
We are sending you this notice because you have received more than χχχχχχχ
EUR in total payments to your PayPal account.
 
Access to your account has been limited because you didn't provide the
information we requested by 5/16/2011 to comply with EU regulations.
 
When PayPal limits an account, your funds may be held until we've confirmed
your identification per the User Agreement.
To lift your receiving limit: 1. Log in to your PayPal account at
https://www.paypal.com
 

2. Click the "Resolution Center" tab and complete all required steps.
 
Please provide the requested information as soon as possible. Once all the
steps have been completed, we will review your PayPal account and email you
to let you know if we have sufficient information.
 
 
 
We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience.

Όντως ο λογαριασμός μου είχε μπλοκαριστεί, αλλά μετά από ένα δίωρο (και αφού έδωσα τα στοιχεία που ήθελαν, π.χ. το ΑΦΜ μου) ήταν εντάξει και μπόρεσα να μεταφέρω τα χρήματα σε Ελληνική τράπεζα. Εννοείται πως δεν χρησιμοποίησα κανένα από τους συνδέσμους που αναφέρονται στο μήνυμα.

Έλαβα αυτή την ειδοποίηση:

Hello χχχχχχχχ,
 
Our review is complete and we have restored your account.
 
We appreciate your patience and thank you for your help in making PayPal
the safest and most trusted online payment solution.
 
Thanks,

Update προηγούμενου νήματος

Λοιπόν έστειλα επιστολή στo spoof-reviewΑΤpaypal.com και έλαβα την απάντησή τους:

Hello [όνομά μου],

Thanks for reporting that suspicious-looking email. The email you received was not sent by PayPal and it links to a fake website. We are investigating and working on stopping the fraud. [...]

[Vion]

Εκείνο που με ανησύχησε είναι ότι ήξεραν και ξέρουν το πλήρες όνομα της Frédérique. Συνήθως αυτού του είδους «πσαρέματα», τουλάχιστον μέχρι σήμερα, ερχόντουσαν: "Dear Customer" ή κάτι ανάλογο... και σαφώς εννοεί ότι έχουν παραβιαστεί βάσεις δεδομένων της PayPal.

Update account information

Need information to comply with EU regulations

Hello xxx,

EU regulations require that we collect and confirm some of your account information. Please complete this by 11/29/2011. If you don't do so in time, PayPal is required by law to limit access to your account.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

What should I do?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The next time you log in to your PayPal account you’ll be guided through a process to collect the necessary information.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Why is this required?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

EU law requires financial services firms like PayPal to confirm the identity of all customers to provide a safer platform for its users and to help prevent the illegal use of its services. Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,
PayPal

They're at it again:
Frederique and I just received the same message. (Even the "Case ID number" is identical, lol).
Points to be wary of:
* Fake sender's address: no=reply[at]paypal.org  - (Paypal is a .com, not a .org !)
* PayPal will never send a mail addressing you as "Valued Client" or "Customer", they will use your full name as per your account.
You can contact PayPal directly here for any issues: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/helpcenter/article/?solutionId=12600&m=SRE

Dear Customer,

We need your help resolving an issue with your account. To give us time to
work together on this, we've temporarily limited what you can do with your
account until the issue is resolved.

We understand it may be frustrating not to have full access to your
account. We want to work with you to get your account back to normal as
quickly as possible.

What's the problem?

We need a little bit more information about you to help confirm your
identity.
