    Haven't received any email about User Agreement change for PayPal Services. BTW why don't you login to your account using new browser (not by clicking any link) and see whats there for you to go through ??

    DON.

    I haven't got it, do as deluxdon said and go to the site and try to find the link, if you can't then email telling them about the email and it's address.

    I've got such an mail too. Which is really strange is that the one I got comes from Paypal Belgium - and I'm a Paypal Belgium customer; as usual, the mail is in French; which is the language used in my Paypal account. In addition, I never get false Paypal mails to the address I got this one and the sender uses my whole name.

    Indeed, there's no link into the mail and yes, in my PP account there's a link to User Agreement changes. But when I click on this link, it doesn't load.

    This is really strange situation.

    Note: the email's sender is

    Could this mean that PP's got their database hacked?

    there is a change to the terms of service and the email is not a scam.
    you can see the english updates here

    Or if you dont trust my link then go to
    www.paypal.com scroll to the bottom of the page
    click on Legal agreememnts
    click on policy updates (last one in the list)
    you will see
    You need to read the changes there

    It looks like it may be updated for Europe only. When I switch the URL in the link above from "uk" to "us" it tells me there is no update at this time.

    If the PayPal Email begins with the *exact* name as on your PayPal Account (for personal and premier accounts, your name - for business accounts, the business name) then chances are it came from PayPal. Phishing emails generally start with Deal PayPal User or Deal PayPal Account Holder... something vague like that.

    PayPal is changing their policies but only for certain countries. It is important to log into your PayPal account directly (not through any link) and check your account to see if you need to agree to these changes.

    Whenever in doubt, DO NOT click a link in an email. Open a fresh browser window, and type in the PayPal Address yourself.
