Looks like they pretty much copied the source of the orginal Paypal site and only changed the link for the Sign In.

That is probably a stolen identity/fake info.

I get a ton of these, not only from paypal but from ebay and even banks telling me my account has been broken into and they need to verify info. :dork:

Never trust this shit. If they really needed to contact you they would do it over the phone, and if you really wanna be certain contact them that way.

Paypal took the $1 because I transfered it to my account and now I'm left with 5 cents, can't do much but I can pay your mom.
