Hi, All, I have an E-Mail that is supposed to be from Pay Pal with a colour picture and P/P logo; stating that my account is frozen! DON,T CLICK ON IT it is a scam.
I checked my P/P/account it is fine.

You should forward it to PayPal to keep them informed.

Thanks for the info

Yes, send it on to p/p as soon as you can.

I got one a few weeks ago that was VERY convincing. Stating there was an unauthorised attempt to charge over $100 to my account and to please log in via the link provided to ensure there were no more unauthorised transactions.
Yeah right...
Didn't do that obviously, but I did check it myself via the usual means and there was nothing odd with the account.

Barstewards indeed!

Paypal say the quickest way to tell if it is a scam is if they DON'T address you with your full name.
