This is really a nasty issue.  I received an email from Paypall.com telling me my account was changed to limited access because of some security issue.  It provided a case number and a ticket number.  It went on to assure me they were working to restore full service and they need me to confirm some information. They said a link was provided for my convenience.

Yah... ya gotta watch that stuff real close. ANYTIME you get a notice from Paypal(or any other financial interest)that says they changed ANYTHING regarding your account log-in, passwords, etc....it's usually a scam. I used to get those emails all the time.....so much so that I had the "spoof@paypalDOTcom" email in my address book! NEVER click on links from something you think is fishy, or something wanting you to change something.
For a while, I was getting notices from facebook that someone else was using my log-in from another computer, and facebook wanted me to PROVE I was who I was. Trouble was...it was ME trying to log in from another computer, and I couldn't log in at all. I finally had to log in from home and get it sorted out, but I didn't try to fix it from work, because I THOUGHT it might have been a scam.
Watch out for scammers.....they're EVERYWHERE!

I've been getting the same type every other day.  Mine say they are making my account temporarily unavailable and to "log in here".  I sent the emails to paypal but got no reply.

I've received the same email a number of times over the years.   

Anything genuine from Paypal will also start with your name rather than "Paypal customer" or no salutation at all.
