Another Hoax Paypal E-mail: Your Paypal Account Has Been Limited

There are just  too many spams and hoax e-mails that I get everyday and this Hoax Paypal E-mail: Your Paypal Account Has Been Limited is one of them.

I always get this kind of e-mail and never I will click the link that they will ask me to sign in and update my profile. I know this is a HOAX, and phishing e-mail that crooks online are doing.

Look closely at the the e-mail of the sender, it’s not even from paypal so this is NOT TRUE. Funny thing also is that they sent this e-mail that is not even my paypal e-mail so it’s another red flag.

So, don’t just click on e-mails coming from unknown source. Please be careful because you don’t want your Paypal got hacked, right?

Paypal WILL never e-mail you without your real name on their e-mails like this.

  1. I too had received a few spam e-mails from supposed to be Paypal sender but I just ignored it. They just want to get information from me. We have to be very careful about our accounts and look closely to who is sending it. Lot's of phishers out there so don't get hooked.

  2. I once received an email from "paypal" stating that I need to change my password as someone tried to access my account and that I had to click a link to be directed to my personal "account" site. That sentence right there gave me the suspicion that's it's a hoax. I forwarded the email to the real paypal and they responded that they have not sent anything regarding such matters and that I should disregard the email I received from the fake paypal immediately. I'm sure they already got the fake paypal's account details :) I never got suspicious mails from fake paypal ever.

    Just ignore that and send it straight to the real paypal and they will advice you accordingly.

  7. Hi 'Te Jen I used to get those phishing emails too, even almost clicked on the link but fortunate that my Firefox browser then prompted me to leave the page because it has been reported as a fraudulent page! From then on, I was really careful enough to always flag them as spam.

  9. Whenever I get these emails with link, I don't click directly on the link, I'd rather type Paypal on the address bar...these spam are deadly.

  12. I had a very bad experience with PP. My account had been limited and was eventually banned from the system. They never returned my money back that's close to $200 :-( Sad. Had I known about this warning beforehand, I should have been more careful. It was a hard lesson learned for me.

  14. I have never received any e-mails like this from this so-called PayPal hackers. But if ever they did, I wouldn't click.

    There are ways that only PayPal can prove that it is them who are sending those e-mail and you can actually see it in the e-mail itself.
