Today I received a fake message pretending to be from PayPal Security

Security Center Advisory!

We recently noticed one or more attempts to log in to your PayPal account
from a foreign IP address and we have reasons to belive that your account
was hijacked by a third party without your authorization. If you recently
accessed your account while traveling, the unusual log in attempts may 
have
been initiated by you.

If you are the rightful holder of the account you must click the link 
below
and then complete all steps from the following page as we try to verify 
your
identity.

If you choose to ignore our request, you leave us no choice but to 
temporaly
suspend your account.
