Scammers want two things control over your computer and access to your money. The scam below allows them to do both.
They want you to think your PayPal account has been compromised so you react quickly - without thinking.
They want you to download a file - which will infect your computer either to add it to their botnet or so they can snoop on your computer - often it is both.
The email SAYS it is from Paypal cust_serv@online-paypalsecurity.com. It is a fake email address and the email comes from Finland not the US or UK.
Other clues is that the email doesn't say which account they are talking that is because it is sent out to thousands of people. They use the word "ensure" when they meant "insure". But most importantly, it was sent to me and I don't have a PayPal account.
We recently have determined that different computers have logged into your account, and multiple password failures were present before the login. Therefore your account has been limited.
