Dear PayPal Member,

This e-mail was sent to you because we have detected an error in your billing information on file with Paypal during our regular schedule account maintenance and verification. This might be due to either following reasons:

A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address).
Submitting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due an internal error with our processors.

Click or copy into your browser the link below and confirm your Paypal account information, otherwise your Paypal Account access will become restricted:
