A Notice from Paypal / myLot

By the way I just read the message today because I haven’t had the chance to update my email regularly at Yahoo. The mail’s date was on March 11, 2021. I was surprised upon reading the email because how come my account is restricted due to suspicious activity. I did not click the login button provided at the bottom of the mail and after studying the nature of the mail, I noticed that this must not be from the genuine paypal platform. The sender’s details that suppose to start “service” is written in capital S and the email add next to it is a personal email address from gmail account. It’s not how the paypal sending mail for how many years I am receiving notices from them. I login to my PP account at different window and there my account is just fine and never had a notification intended for me. Scammers are really working hard to lure their possible victims.

I have had those mails too. I then go to PayPal by the usual way and there is no problem.

I'm glad you login thru a separate window too and did not take the login button at the mail.

i get those frequently because my paypal account is active. My business transactions are mostly done through paypal so large amount of money comes in and out.

Scammers are really working hard to victimize people to whom they could benefit.

I was so surprise for the notice but good things I'm quick to remind myself to carefully examine the nature of the sender's details.

Good that you were observant in every detail from the email addresses and everything else contained in the email. I think everyone should be as vigilant as you so that this scammer would starve and learn to earn legitimately.

It was the sender's email that I noticed why it's personal and a gmail account.

My goodness. These scammers will stop at no end. I've received a few of those emails but thankfully they seem to have stopped. I would report their addresses to Gmail right away. Glad your PayPal account is still working.

Thankfully I was also suspicious on that matter so I checked at my genuine account on a separate window and not on the link provided to me.
