Is This Email Real?Just a few days ago my mother received the following email and asked me if it was real. See if you can identify the five key points I found in identifying this email as fraud.
Need some help. See tomorrow's post for a real email I received and the answers to those five key points mentioned earlier.

Dear PayPal Customer,
This is your final warning about the safety of your PayPal account.

to either following reasons:
- A recent change in your personal information (i.e. change of address)
- Submiting invalid information during the initial sign up process.
- An inability to accurately verify your selected option of payment due
an internal error within our processors.
Please update your PayPal profile in order to restore your online
