Your PayPal has been limited

What do I have to do?
It’s simple click on the “Update Account” button and complete the account activation step.
What will happen
The messages are a trick that has been used by some scammers and maybe after all I remember another sender who seemed to have just about the same email who used to send such emails to people about 1 or 2 years ago. Once you CLICK the link they will send you to a phishing site where if you fill in the details they want you to fill they will be stealing the details and will use them. On reality your Pay pal account isn’t really blocked or anything and if you fell the need to confirm this just open a new tab and type in Pay pal and then login because these will want you to use their fake Pay pal page instead. It’s 100% scam and well known too and being used by a couple of scammers time after time so don’t fall for it and warn people as well.
Verdict
The message is not from Pay pal as we can see and this is not the kind of messages that Pay pal will ever send you. Don’t follow anything they tell you or click the links that they tell you will help you create your new password or to get the account unlocked. If you have been scammed by these people you will be at risk of having your pay pal account charged and used without your consent. Also do report any scam emails that you may have had received recently.
Good luck
