Dear member,

We recently reviewed your account, and we need more information about your business to allow us to provide uninterrupted service.

We have reason to believe that your account was accessed by a third party. Because protecting the security of your account is our primary concern, we have limited access to sensitive PayPal account features. We understand that this may be an inconvenience but please understand that this temporary limitation is for your protection.

(Your case ID for this reason is PP-139-164-101.)
