They claim my account has become limited. I don't find anything wrong with my Paypal account! They appear to disguise themselves as Paypal themselves and their address. Might be phishers.

Paypal will never send an email requesting account information. You should log on to Paypal for anything like that. Bank & Credit Unions will NEVER send you an email. They contact you through your internet banking messaging. Delete the Paypal email

You are right it's a fake email. But also don't click the links in the email. I get those all the time and if you forward it to paypal they don't do anything about it either as you will see. Just delete it. Also protect yourself by using the tools my mom and I use below at the site below.

Companies dont ask personal information in the emails , dont give out your personal information in the email ever. Check the email of the sender and email paypal customer service regarding the email you have got.

NO
Never give any financial information through an email as not only is it insecure but it's also too easy to scam.
Any reputable website will tell you to login to your account and verify the details there. (and it's always best to type in the website manually and not use any links in the email.)

Of course they're phishing. I used to get one of these e-mails every week or so. They're spoofing Paypal's domain to make their e-mail look legit.
Paypal never asks for personal info via e-mail. Never. You do everything by logging into their site. (Which they never ask you to do by following a link in an e-mail).

No. It's a phishing scam. Forward it to spoof@paypal.com
Don't respond to the email. Don't click on any of the links. Forward it, Delete it.
