It comes following a spate of scam attempts, with fraudsters attempting to take advantage of innocent members of the public. There's a huge amount of scam tactics, and this includes scammers trying to target victims via PayPal.
It adds that people should "verify" themselves immediately by visiting them via a website, with the link pasted within the message.
Another person posted a phishing attempt which they said was "very realistic looking" indeed.
It claims the person has just changed their Paypal password.
"We just wanted to confirm that you've changed your password," the message reads.
"If you didn't change your password, please click here right away."
There is a link within the email which recipients are directed to click.
However, according to the Twitter user, this wasn't a genuine message - something which PayPal also confirmed via the verified PayPal Support Twitter account.
As part of their response, PayPal wrote: "Hi there, thank you for reaching out to PayPal. We appreciate your effort in reporting this fake email to us.
"We continuously work to shut down fake emails and websites.
"Please forward the fake email to spoof@paypal.com and delete the fake email from your inbox."
The firm also urged people to change their PayPal password and security questions, should they have clicked on any links in the scam emails.
They also suggested running a virus scan, "just to make sure" they didn't "pick something up from clicking any links".
Paypal has a section on its website warning people about potential scam attempts.
It highlights a number of common scam tactics which people should watch out for.
This includes the claim that the PayPal account "is about the be suspended".
"Many fraudsters send spoofed emails warning that an account is about to be suspended, and that the account holder must enter their password in a spoofed webpage," PayPal said.
"Be careful; PayPal will never ask you to enter your password unless you are on the login page."
Another email claims via email that the person has been paid.
"Some fraudsters try to trick you into thinking that you've received a payment," explains PayPal.
"They want what you're selling for free. Before you ship anything, log into your PayPal account and check that you were actually paid."
Another tactic sees the scammer assert the person has been paid too much.
"Fraudsters may try to convince you that you've been paid more than you were owed," says PayPal.
The scammer will ask them to ship the item paid for, as well as extra money which they were supposedly "paid" by mistake.
"Don't fall for it! Simply log into your PayPal account and check that you were paid before sending anything," PayPal said.
