Paypal scammers really should learn how to spell
Dear valued PayPal member:



We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address.


If you recently accessed your account while traveling in Rusia, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you did not initiate the logins, please visit PayPal as soon as possible to verify your identity:




Verify your identity is a security measure that will ensure that you are the only person with access to the account.

Thanks for your patience as we work together to protect your account security.

Sincerely.
The PayPal Team.
