I have just had an email off PayPal asking me to verify my bank details as I have almost reached £2100 spending limit.

This isn't all from me, i order a lot of things for family members who always give me the money as they trust me to do safely online shopping where as they are not confident.

Is this a scam, as I have never had an email like this.

I had a dodgy email saying was from PayPal but it wasn't. Me being silly replied via the link. Next thing I had an email a day or so later saying thank you for my request to withdraw funds. They tried taking £500 out ( it had to go through bank first)
I rang paypal & helpful enough but I had to wait for money to reach my paypal from my bank & then transfer back, even though I hadn't authorised in first place. In meantime I changed all passwords etc!
Scary these people can do these things!

That's good news. It's always better to be over cautious than not cautious enough.
