Unauthorized access to your PayPal account!

<TD width="100%">
We recently noticed more attempts to log in to your PayPal account from a foreign IP address.
If you accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may have been initiated by you. However, if you are the rightfull holder of the account, please visit Paypal as soon as possible to verify your identity ( I HAVEN"T BEEN ON A VACATION EVEN OUTSIDE OF MY STATE.... Besides going out of the COUNTRY.....
I don't even remember what EMAIL address I did sign up with PAYPAL with, I signed up for Paypal awhile ago, but never used it.
When I try to click on the link in the email- it wants me to fill in CREDIT CARD INFO to verify who I am ......
Does ANYONE have a 1 -800 number I can CALL PayPal.
Thanks

DO NOT RESPOND TO THAT EMAIL, DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINKS IN IT . DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY INFORMATION. THAT IS WHAT THEY CALL PHISING. BE VERY CAREFUL, YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE SCAMMED

Yep, it's a phishing email...don't respond, and report it to Paypal, but don't go through the link. Enter the paypal link from your browser and report it that way.

Forward those kinds of emails to spoof@paypal.com and they will take care of it.
