PayPal account.

ensure account safety.

In accordance with PayPal's User Agreement, your account access will
remain limited until the issue has been resolved. Unfortunately, if
access to your account remains limited for an extended period of time, it
may result in further limitations or eventual account closure. We

Yeah... this could very well have been created by the guy sitting next to you at work, or some kid in Korea, or even a bored astronaut on the international space station.

Dear PayPal Customer

Give us the true bogus link so we can fill it with credit card information from various well known individuals, such as Darth Vader, Hugh Jass, Mike Rotch, and Heywood Jablome.
