I just got an email from ""PayPal"" which starts out as follows: "As part of our security measures, we regularly screen activity in the
PayPal system. We recently noticed the following issue on your account:We would like to ensure that your account was not accessed by an
unauthorized third party. Because protecting the security of your
account is our primary concern, we have limited access to sensitive PayPal
account features. We understand that this may be an inconvenience but please
understand that this temporary limitation is for your protection."I tried to close out my Paypal account recently without success, which is proof that either there are attempts to scam me by those pretending to be Paypal, or that Paypal itself is unreliable/unresponsive. Now I get this supposedly from Paypal. I'd like to get others' opinions as to whether this is from Paypal, another scam or both before deciding whether and how to respond. Regardless, I want to close out my Paypal account and would appreciate advice from others how to sidestep the scammers when doing so. Regardless of Paypal's actual or perceived integrity among other Aylum Inmates, scammers have poisoned that well for me and I want nothing to do with Paypal henceforth.
TIA -
