My account has been limited. For what reason? How can I have the limitation remove? Ref. ID: PP-002-590-298-296 Ken Murray

contact paypal direct--- go google type in paypal and find contact us and talk directly to them as what you have written amounts to a scam to get your account details
When paypal contact you they always use you first name and last name and never mention requests for account details as they already have them.

Hi Steveboyd10,

All PayPal accounts are initially 'Unverified' and have limits on sending, receiving and withdrawing money. To remove these limits and to comply with EU law, we will ask you to verify more information about yourself by completing some or all of the steps below:

1. Set up bank funding
2. Link and confirm a credit or debit card
3. Provide business information (Premier and Business accounts only)
4. Confirm your address

By setting up bank funding your PayPal account will become Verified.
You can complete the steps and remove all your limits, as follows:

1. Log in to your PayPal account.
2. Click the 'View Limits' link on the 'Account Overview' page
3. Tick the box next to 'Receiving Limit per year' and click 'Lift Limits'
4. Follow the instructions to lift each one

You can begin these steps at any time, however if all the steps are not completed and you reach the annual receiving limit then you will no longer be able to withdraw or send money, fund transactions or close your account until you complete the steps.

Good Luck!
Thank you for using Fixya!

Call or send them an email requesting information on your account. Thanks for using FixYa! Go to the help section of PayPal it is all there. John

This is 100% scam and we should aware of this type of emails. Usually they include links like "click here to verify your account" etc.. and in most cases, this email isn't text format but image format where they insert hyperlink and as soon as click on the area of the mail, you'll be directed to another phishing site with the similar website like paypal (only the appearance,) if so open it, but don't enter any information and check the web address on the address bar, you'll see something like http://wwww.paypal.com (4 w's) or www1.paypal.com (3w's with 1), etc..

Just ignore it and forward or send this email to paypal directly to their Scam Alert email [email protected]

This has been circulating for some time now, so we need to be aware of this, they can easily copy your paypal's password and username/email address as soon as you attempt to login. There more with this, at your first attempt, you'll get an error message that your username or password is incorrect, at that time they've already captured your login account info and have been directed to the original paypal website. If you don't believe, use wrong/random email address and password, click login and see what happens.

This is What We Call Phishing.


Good luck

Thanks for using FixYa.

I have experience of the situation, but i did not provide the requirements. I'll just wait for 6 weeks and my PayPal account has working regularly. So just wait for 6 weeks to access you PayPal account with no hustle.

Good luck!

I'd suggest logging into www.paypal.com and going to the Help / Contact Us section there. The email is 'probably' a hoax, but you can not be sure. DO NOT click any links in the email itself. Type the PayPal.com link into your browser to avoid a 'phishing' attempt. Hope this helps.

Contact Pay Pal customer service. They have it limited for a reason.

1. Add a password to the 'Administrator' account.
2. Add a password to each "administrator-level" account.
3. Create a "limited-user" account.

Tell the user the ID/password for that "limited" account.
Do _NOT_ tell the user the ID/password for any "admin" accounts.

Do _NOT_ let the user boot the computer from a CD, or from a USB memory-stick.

Do _NOT_ let the user physically remove the hard-drive, and then tamper with the files while it is connected to another computer.
