dont know if its been posted before but just read it on clubgti.com and thought it may be of use.
some email i got today wrote:
Dear PayPal member,
PayPal would like to inform you about some important information
regarding your PayPal account. This account, which is associated with
the email address
rallye@dubforce.net
will be expiring within five business days. We apologize for any
inconvenience that this may cause, but this is occurring because all
of our customers are required to update their account settings with
their personal information.
We are taking these actions because we are implementing a new
security policy on our website to insure everyone's absolute privacy.
To avoid any interruption in PayPal services then you will need to run
the application that we have sent with this email (see attachment)
and follow the instructions. Please do not send your personal
information through email, as it will not be as secure.
IMPORTANT! If you do not update your information with our secure
application within the next five business days then we will be forced
to deactivate your account and you will not be able to use your
PayPal account any longer. It is strongly recommended that you take
a few minutes out of your busy day and complete this now.
DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE VIA EMAIL! This mail is sent by an
automated message system and the reply will not be received.
Thank you for using PayPal.

you can tell the wording is not professional "you take
a few minutes out of your busy day and complete this now" for example
