Dear customer ,

As part of our efforts to provide a safe and secure environment for the

your account has identified an issue regarding its safe use. We have 
placed a restriction on your account as a precaution.

To lift the restriction we will require some further information from you.

If, once we review your further information and we're confident that the 
use of your account does not present a safety risk to our service and 
customers, we'll be happy to reinstate your account.

We have sent you an attachment which contains all the necessary steps in 
order to restore your account access. Download and open it in your 
browser. After we have gathered the necessary information, you will 
regain full access to your account.

We thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Very sincerely,
PayPal Review Department

The above is the actual scammer email received. It has been scrubbed of recipient information.
If you received an email like this you have several choices.

Ignore the scammer. Do not respond to emails. Just delete them.
Respond, but only to lead the scammer on--to get a counterfeit check, to report stolen credit card numbers, and to waste the scammer's time. Time spent trying to scam you is time not spent scamming someone else.
Report the scammer to us and we'll post their emails so others will know about that scammer.

Whichever option you choose make sure you do the following:

DO NOT educate the scammer in any way. Educating a scammer makes them better at scamming the next person.
DO NOT let the scammer know that YOU KNOW they are a scammer. The scammer will always be nice to you if they think there's a chance they may still be able to scam you. If they know they've been discovered they will often threaten you. Their threats are empty, but are scary to some people.
DO NOT give the scammer any personal information that they cannot find in a phone book (name, address, and phone.) Feel free to give them lots of incorrect information.

For more information you may contact us by email, email form, or by phone at (801) 277-0888.
