I have emails from paypal saying something like that as well: But once you clicked on the link you could it was a phishing site(e.a. it was an anchor pointing to a different place)... Apparently, I have been recieving ALOT OF PHISHING EMAILS FROM PAYPAL RELATED COMPANIES(Ebay as well) SO BE CAREFUL AND I WAS MOST LIKELY THE FIRST ONE TO SUBMIT THE EMAIL TO PAYPAL(THEY ACTED SURPRISED WHEN I TOLD THEM........) This is the email I got from the real paypal And I have been tracing it to an IP in Houston,TX....and the ip was 6 7.1 5.5 4.1 4(this isn't the phishing's site's ip) Also the phishing's site's ip points to Rogers Cable Inc. ROGERS-CAB-15 (NET-72-56-0-0-1) 72.56.0.0 - 72.63.255.255 Rogers Cable Inc. Wlfdle DOC-2-7-0-1-WLFDLE (NET-72-61-82-0-1) 72.61.82.0 - 72.61.82.255 So I assume that someone using 1 computer at home is some how running a webserver through a home cable connection with a "ripped paypal" site that only wants your creditcard info...and it uses a 8*** port number.....
and similar neutral addressing methods are an absolute proof for phishing mails it is paypal's policy ot always use full first name and family name in all emails in addition when moving with cursor over the links you see that the actual hosting or IP is clearly a NON-paypal destination

It is not a Maybe, it is really true. If the people at Paypal say it is true, it has to be true. There is no reason why they should lie about it.
We are already getting our checks from paypal singapore. so, it's not surprising that the accounts will be held now with paypal singapore. As mentioned earlier in this thread, the reasons paypal is doing this is because of tax-benefits and operational efficiency. There are likely to be some other benefits associated with this as well which we may see in the near future : 1. Faster processing and delivery of checks 2. Direct deposits/EFT to our local bank accounts - a much needed feature 3. *Probably* - the option of choosing to receive a check by express mail/ courier
most of the paypall spoof mail address to someone general... real email from paypal will state your name in the email.
I also received this for Paypal Canada. It seems to be legit and makes sense. Banking laws around the world are different, and after the trouble paypal has faced in court recently, I can see why they are making the changes they are. My email came addressed to me personally, and told me to log into my account for "Contact Us" assistance. No links were in the email. There would be nothing for anyone to "spoof" from me.
it's real. do a "paypal" search here https://www.psi.gov.sg/NASApp/tmf/TMFServlet?app=RCB-BIZFILE-BIZCODIR and you should get this: 1 200509725E PAYPAL PTE. LTD. f.k.a PAYPAL SINGAPORE PRIVATE LIMITED Live

Now is 2nd August 2006, Until now, there are nothing regarding this matter at Paypal Official Sites whatsoever. I don't know why? Not even in their Updated Policy (last upade at 20th July 2006) news whatsoever. Maybe it's a bogus notification.
Yes.... I too checked PayPal site to know whether there is any change in their Updated Policy. Till now no changes! I'm really confused
